Читать книгу The Hummingbird Bakery Home Sweet Home: 100 new recipes for baking brilliance - Tarek Malouf, Tarek Malouf - Страница 2

Ever since the first Hummingbird Bakery opened in Notting Hill, west London, in 2004 it has been amazing to see how many people have enjoyed our cakes and treats. That they have also been inspired to bake at home, however, is something that we never expected. The popularity of home baking has grown so much since our ovens were first turned on, which is something that makes us extremely happy. So for Home Sweet Home, our third cookbook, we decided to celebrate classic home baking with best-loved flavours and nostalgic recipes – all of which come with our distinctive American-inspired Hummingbird Bakery twist, of course!

America has a rich heritage of home baking, handed down from generation to generation, never ashamed of being sweet, indulgent or brash. But there’s also a down-to-earth quality about American baking, never needing to be overly fussy or putting style before flavour.

We’ve gone a step further in Home Sweet Home, bringing you a whole range of delicious goodies, including creative cupcakes like the tangy Key Lime or quirky Doughnut; simple cookies, such as the melt-in-the-mouth Chocolate Truffle; impressive but easy-to-make desserts, including the eye-catching Red Velvet Roulade and divine Peanut Butter Cheesecake; classic fruit cobblers and some of the most indulgent pies you’ll ever come across – the Candy Bar is our absolute favourite! Some cupcakes from our daily specials make an appearance too, such as Rhubarb & Custard and Popcorn from our old-fashioned sweets and carnival ranges.

Most people know us for our sweet things, but sometimes a savoury bake is called for when cooking at home. So we’ve provided some easy savoury recipes that make ideal snacks or party nibbles. From weekend comfort home baking and biscuit tin treats to impressive special occasion cakes, Home Sweet Home includes a wonderful variety of recipes.

We do hope you enjoy our latest offering and that it gives you the perfect excuse to dust off the weighing scales, fire up your oven and get that mixer buzzing!
