The Great British Baking Show Favorite Flavors by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, 2022 bakers

by Leave a Comment

So the Great British Bake Off aka Great British Baking Show books have been kind of hit or miss; more miss lately, but thankfully, in spite of some unfortunate decisions during the actual series, the book is back to what it should be: cool bakes that are actually achievable and useful to an average home baker. The Great British Baking Show: Favorite Flavors has a lot of things I think I both can and actually want to try. Before I get into the good stuff, […]

Literally dough, but it mostly looks tasty

Bake: My best ever recipes for the classics by Paul Hollywood

by 1 Comment

For this the first review of Bingo, I have gone level 1 literal for the Dough. So I was in the UK in a bookstore and they had both the signed version and the 50% off version of Paul Hollywood’s new book Bake: My best ever recipes for the classics; guess which one I went for? Anyways, some of the recipes are repeats but there’s enough new interesting things to bake that I might be able to bake my way through this one for the […]

Baking through the UK Seasons

A Bake for All Seasons by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, the 2021 Bakers

by 2 Comments

I confess to being a little disappointed in the 2020 Great British Baking Show/Bake Off cookbook; it was pretty and had recipes from the bakers and judges, but very little that wasn’t show stopper-y, as in it would take all day at least and only in large quantity, and not keep well. I am happy to report that the 2021 installment, A Bake for All Seasons looks much more promising. As the title might suggest, this one is organized based on the principle of seasonality […]

I do love to bake but with this book I’m not so sure

The Great British Baking Show Love to Bake by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, the Bakers

by 1 Comment

I may have to re-impose my occasional moratorium on cookbooks, specifically baking, for a while. The Great British Baking Show released the annual cookbook to accompany the most recent season on Dec. 22; I pre-ordered. Due some unforeseen delays, I only just got the book a few days ago. The problem I have is that I only just started working my way through Pieometry; I’m a good ways through my Paul Hollywood book (How to Bake), but there’s still a lot to get through with […]

Baking Hollywood Style and It’s Actually Worth It

How To Bake by Paul Hollywood

by 1 Comment

Bingo Book Review 20: Repeat (of the How To variety) I was feeling a little off balance and I did a little retail therapy; for me that meant the bookstore. I decided on an impulse to go with the title I share with you now: Paul Hollywood’s How To Bake. I’ve been a fan of the Great British Bake-Off (or Baking Show if you’re in the US) for years, and I have several of the series cookbooks. I also have one of Mary Berry’s baking […]
