useful tips and imagery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2011

Verified Purchase

As other reviewers have pointed out there aren't enough pictures of the food to quite satisfy but I do feel that the book is still very appealing and tactile and does entice you to bake. The font is clear, the recipes are well laid out and the imagery and straightforward description is almost as helpful as a picture to be honest. I am already a keen baker of many of the recipes in the book but did enjoy trying a different mix of ingredients (usually more decadent in this book!)and look forward to trying more. Best of all though was the vanilla bean tip in the introduction; who would have thought that you could buy vanilla pods on the internet at a fraction of the supermarket cost? Having bought 50 pods for less than £8 (currently 2 pods for £4 in Waitrose!) I have been even more keen to bake and see what difference real vanilla makes!
Since writing this review I have made a number of other treats from this book and have found that the tips and description really do make a huge difference - for example I have tried (failed at) baking brioche before but following the recipe here made beautiful beautiful brioche. Again, it's the descriptions that tell you how long to beat for and what it should look like that give you confidence as you bake. It also helps you to understand the chemistry behind the baking and then go on to experiment. I now do a 50% icing sugar to 25% butter to 25% mascarpone cheese topping for my cupcakes which I am delighted with. And don't miss out the sugar syrup - makes a big difference! Love love love it.

Baking made easy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2021

A good reference guide for me.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2011

Verified Purchase

I am inclined to agree with some of the previous reviewers i.e. that there are not enough pictures of the actual dishes and too many of the lovely Ms Pascale who, it has to be said, is beautiful and very photogenic but I want to see the food, not the cook!

The recipes themselves are very good and easy to follow - I think I probably would have a go at the red velvet celebration cake now as Lorraine makes it sound so easy.

Lots of the recipes - like the whoopee cakes and cupcakes - are up-to-date and what is good is that Lorraine gives instructions about equipment, tin size etc. etc. all of which are very important for successful baking.

As I said in my title for this review, it is a nice book but I have read (and indeed own) plenty of cookery books that are better than this one.

Too many pictures of Lorraine and not of the food

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2012

Verified Purchase

I really love Lorraine on the BBC, which funny enough is why I brought the book. She is so laid back which is exactly my style in the kitchen. However honestly there are too many random pictures of her in the book, and not enough of the finished recipes (it wouldn't be so bad if they were pictures of her, WITH the finished product, but other than the front cover they are all random model type of shots). It's almost a little like she didn't have time to make most of the recipes, so the publisher decided to fill the pages with a selection of her food portfolio photos unrelated . Odd.

Example: she details a 3 tiered complicated sounding cake (I suspect would look like a wedding cake?), which spans 4 pages of the book (longest recipe in there), and you guessed it, the picture is a full page of her smiling while she whisks flour in a bowl, completely ridiculous. I know I'm labouring the point, but the best cooking books in my opinion are those with at least a semi visual guide as to how things should be turning out.

Everything else is lovely, the font is fantastic, and its nicely coloured. Well worth the fiver I paid, just not sure how much use it will get!

Frustrating lack of pictures

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2013

Verified Purchase

I loved all three of Lorraine's TV shows but...

Many of the recipes have no pictures of the expected result or the intermediate steps. What makes it more frustrating is that there are lots of pictures of the ex-model, now chef Lorraine Pascale looking fabulous while riding her bike, sifting flour, shopping for groceries or sitting on a couch. All of them very useful!

Apart from that, it's a good idea if you liked the tv show and don't want to watch the episode again before cooking.

Beware many of the recipes in the book are not in the show, and many of those don't have a picture, so you may end up looking up on the internet what a Kugelhopf must look like.

This is an amazingly good baking book, the recipes are actually really really delicious! Too good according to my family, apparently I'm making everyone gain about a stone from all the sweet goodies :) You can tell that Pascale is a good patisserie chef and loves experimenting, some of the recipes have you adding the oddest things but turn out great. The victoria sponge is lovely and I've made a batch of honeycomb (yellow man) which is really nice and easy to make. The tipsy trifle always goes down well to whoever tries it! I liked the layout, there are some nice baking savouries too and everything is pretty easy to find. My only wish is that all the recipes had pictures, I like to know it looks right! But other than that a very good book which I would recommend to everyone :)
PS. My mum has her ordinary cookbook too and it has some amazing recipes too!

excllent recipes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2011

Verified Purchase

This book was bought, as many others have - after watching Baking Made Easy on tv. I was not disappointed.
This is a great little book to add to any collection. Clear and concise information. Nice mix of recipes - ones you would
cook for everyday family life and ones which you would definitely do as part of a dinner party. Yes, there are lots of photos
of her, but that does not interupt with your baking! I too like to see a photo of the finished result because I choose
a lot of my things by sight and would like to be tempted by a good photo of the finished result. The chocolate cake with
cigarellos looks lovely (if you are happy to spend £16 on just the chocolate cigarellos which go around the cake)
and this is a great idea for a special occasion cake.
It's a great book and I am really pleased to have bought it. You can buy it cheaper elsewhere though. Check the book people.
