One of the most soothing shows on television is The Great British Baking Show(also called The Great British Bake Off), which features a group of amateur bakers competing for the title. Judged by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, the contestants square off in a variety of themes—bread, dessert, pastry, and more—and try to impress with flavor, innovation, and absolutely no soggy bottoms. Since being a contestant on series 8 of GBBO, Liam has been busy being a judge on Junior Bake Off and presenting Bake Off: The Professionals. Cheeky Treats is full of fun ideas and tip-top creations. My husband complains, because people say to him all the time, 'Oh, you're married to the Bake Off lady. You must get wonderful cake at home.' And he says, 'If you only knew. My house is at the cake free zone! She never bakes, and I wish I'd married Mary Berry. I should have married Mary Berry!'" Leith joked to Town & Country.

Bake your way through the much-loved BBC1 series with this beautiful, fully photographic cookbook of 120 original recipes, including those from both the judges and the bakers. Each chapter transports you on set and showcases the best recipes from the challenges including Mary and Paul's Signature Bakes, Technical Challenges and Showstoppers, plus the best bakers' recipes from the show. Review:"I bought this book with a view to upping my baking game, inspired by the programme. It is based on the two Channel 4 series (8 & 9). Encouragingly, after intros by Paul and Prue, there are good bios of each baker in series 9.

She spends her days trying to find a way to be paid to read while drinking copious amounts of coffee, watching episodes of Gilmore girls until the DVDs fail, waiting for her husband to feed her, and being obnoxiously vain about her hair. Recipes are organised by type. There are 25 baker's signature bake recipes which do not seem to have been 'dumbed down'. (It would have been good if the bakers could have been named). In addition, there are 7 judge's recipes and 14 step-by-step guides to creating showstoppers. The remainder is contributed by members of the bake-off team and seems to belong to the same company.

Review:"A staple of any baker's recipe collection, this book is absolutely fantastic for anyone with even a passing interest in baking as the recipes are simple and very easy to follow. Perfect for someone with a busy life or not much time as almost all the recipes use the one bowl method. Everything I've tried has turned out great and I absolutely swear by the basic traybake recipe - it's amazing! There is a variety of recipes including simple layered cakes, biscuits, cheesecakes and even some more challenging recipes for more adventurous bakers like a Battenburg.

Series 14

If you know your way around the kitchen, why not try out your bakes on family and friends? If they don't have a sweet tooth, there are plenty of savoury recipes, too. No GBBO list would be complete without the queen of baking, Mary Berry, herself (we miss you on the TV Mary!) Almost every recipe inside this cookbook takes just ten minutes to prepare, so no matter how busy you are, you'll always have time to make the perfect cake. Review:"After the 2020 GBBO, I've been making the rainbow bagels a few times, following the recipe online, which is fine but I still definitely prefer having a recipe book I'm front of me and that's why I decided to finally buy this one.. just because of that one recipe! But this book has got lots of lovely recipes that I can't wait to try.. and one of the first ones that I already have ingredients ready for is the doggy biscuits (yes, this book has a dog biscuit recipe! It's fantastic and we don't even have a dog.. but hoping a beloved dog in the wider family will enjoy them..) This cookbook from the latest series has plenty of easy-to-follow recipes for you to have a go at, including buns, biscuits, pies and pastries. One of our favourites is the raspberry and salted caramel eclairs. Delicious.
