Bad Girl Bakery (3, 2021) | Jeni Iannetta

'I love everything about this book: its warmth, its down-to-earth voice, and its heavenly recipes' - Nigella Lawson The first book from Scotland's celebrated and award-winning Bad Girl Bakery. Unapologetically generous and indulgent, Jeni Iannetta's cakes, bakes and biscuits have won plaudits ever since the bakery opened in 2017. They have supplied breakfast muffins for the Caledonia Sleeper's First Class customers, and cakes and bakes to National Trust Scotland, but at the heart of the business is their cafe in Black Isle village Muir of Ord. For Jeni, baking is about the occasional indulgence that’s worth it. It's about baking being a process that brings you joy. These aren't recipes with hundreds of steps, requiring loads of specialist kit; it's about baking with the best ingredients, and recipes that celebrate texture and flavour and are inspired by home baking techniques. They are do-able, fast, with simple steps and tricks that yield the tastiest results and look great without hours and hours of work. With chapters including everything from 'Cake for Breakfast' to 'Leftover Cake' (who wouldn't bake extra cake to make themselves a Hot Mess?), via an entire section dedicated to Millionaire's Shortbread, Bad Girl Bakery brings together over 100 of Jeni's best bakes. Recipes include Pimped-up Shortbread; Salted Caramel Crumble Bar; Granola, Berry & Yoghurt Muffins; White Chocolate & Cardamom Sticky Buns; Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake; Vegan Hazelnut Millionaire; Deluxe Coconut Brownies and many many more.
