Book Description

11 Oct 2012
In this exciting new book, renowned chef Mark Hix applies his characteristic flair to a range of savoury and sweet recipes that reflects his own unique interpretation of baking.

For him, baking covers anything that can be cooked in the dry heat of an oven whether that is a simple everyday luxury like a Honey baked ham or a sophisticated Saffron custard tart. Hix on Baking is split into chapters covering snacks, bread, meat and fish, vegetables, savoury and sweet tarts, and pudding and cakes. Mark s selection of recipes includes dishes such as Blue Cheese and Chive Scones, Baked Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Chilli, and Baked Peaches with Amaretto that he has been cooking for years or that he has eaten on his travels around the globe.

Mark Hix on Baking will change your perception of baking and will provide endless inspiration for delicious new dishes.

Review

'You can trust Mark Hix when it comes to writing recipes' for British Regional Food --Sainsbury's magazine

'British dishes from the simple to the sublime' for Hix Oyster and Chop House --The Daily Mail

'An erudite delight... superb recipes' by Tom Parker Bowles --Mail on Sunday




'Savoury or sweet, snacks, bread, vegetables, sweet and savoury pies and tarts - it's all here. The layout is simple and clear, with a full-page colour picture beside most of the recipes, and a chatty paragraph from the author after each one, with a tip, suggestion or opinion. Whether it's timpano or baccalau, fougasse or spanakopita, I defy anyone not to itch to make something from this comforting and imaginative collection.' --Good Book Guide, 1st January 2013

'More of an all-round cookbook than you might expect, for restaurateur and food writer Mark Hix embraces any dish cooked in the dry heat of an oven, providing recipes for baked fish, meat and vegetables as well as breads and pastries. The latter includes uncomplicated recipes for savoury spiced cheese cornbread and sweet beetroot tart.' --Daily Express, November 30th 2012

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Hix's Big Bake Off 6 Jan 2013
By The Wolf TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Mark Hix seems to be everywhere like a rash these days; his restaurant
Empire extending ever-wider across the capitol and beyond. (Anyone know
where he's actually ensconced in the flesh behind a stove?) Mr Hix has,
however, always given good grub and one wishes him well with his mission.

His new book on baking is a cracker and follows in the footsteps of previous
publications which have been of good service in my kitchen over the past few
years (notably 'British Seasonal Food', 2008 and the equally splendid 'Hix
Oyster & Chop House', 2010) in turning out some very tasty and robust meals.

Baking for Mr Hix isn't just about cakes and bread. There are as many savoury
as sweet things going on in these recipes and his lucid instructions make it
possible for even the most modestly skilled home cook to achieve good results.

Macaroni pie? (mmmm I'm I'm all for that!); Veal Baked in Hay? (suspend your
principles!); Pheasant Biryani? (I'm salivating now!); Cherry Yorkshire Pudding?
(strange but true!) and I'm just loving those little spiral pastry Sausage Rolls!

The deft photography makes all the dishes look truly appetising and the additional
explanatory notes on each dish make for both interesting and elucidating reading.

A worthy contribution to contemporary culinary culture.

Highly Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Appealing range of different recipes 23 Feb 2013
By S. Thomas #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Whilst the title might suggest a collection of cake and bread recipes, the book actually covers a wide variety of dishes with the common theme being cooking in the oven. A good number appeal to me as a vegetarian (a very fussy one, I might add) and there are also some that I will cook for guests that eat meat and fish. For the latter, I am particularly taken by the salt-baked sea bass recipe; I had the fortune to eat at a local restaurant where one of my fellow diners had the experience of a table serving of this dish; it is a show stopper and now I know how to do it (and it isn't difficult)!

I was particularly pleased to find a recipe for a root vegetable gratin, which was something I was struggling to get just right; it turned out so much better than the supermarket version I have been trying to replicate. I have varied it by using butternut squash and beetroot as well as the suggested leeks; no more supermarket version for me, this was an easy dish that tasted superb.

Mark has also included very appealing recipes that include fennel and celeriac, two ingredients I put on my 'dislike' list for vegetable box deliveries - the celeriac and Lancashire cheese pithivier is now on course to be my main for Christmas lunch.

My only criticism of the book is that not all of the recipes have a photograph of the finished dish (and this is the reason for a four star review of an otherwise five star collection). I don't understand why this is the case as I am sure I am not alone in that part of my selection process is based on the visual appearance of the dish - the celeriac in the title of the aforementioned pithivier means it would have been passed over and never considered without the illustration.

As a vegetarian there are a few recipes that I wouldn't attempt, such as veal baked in hay, baked bone marrow with oysters and a roasted lobster but overall I think this collection has great appeal for meat/fish eaters and vegetarians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hix Hix Hooray!! 9 Feb 2013
By Flickering Ember TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Naively, I had always associated baking with cakes and sweet items, so I found this book to be a great source of inspiration. It has broadened my repertoire no end, as I now consider baking to be a great method of cooking meals on a regular basis.

I particularly enjoyed the crab and seashore vegetable tart (even though I did make a few basic substitutions for ingredients I couldn't get hold of easily). Generally speaking, the recipes are simple and easy to follow, realistic for day to day use by an amateur cook. The ingredients are your more normal, accessible ones; the notable exception to this rule being the seashore vegetables component of the aforementioned tart.

Other particularly note-worthy and highly recommended recipes for me included the red mullet en papillote, Moroccan cigars, and baked peaches with amaretto.

The book is simple, modern and elegant, with high quality pages and honest looking photographs. The writing style is approachable and easy to build a rapport with as it is straightforward without being patronising.
