We still love brussels sprouts even though it seems like they are a bit overdone which means that we must actually love them.

Her appearance on GBBO made Vanity Fair's list of Best Performances of 2021, and she has gone on to cook on acclaimed TV shows such as Good Morning America, The Today Show, Sunday Brunch and ITV Lorraine. It's like Crystelle sprinkled magic flavor dust on every page and made cooking and baking a total party.

Raised in London by Kenyan-born, Portuguese-Goan parents, Crystelle Pereira first showcased her baking skills and winning flavour combinations on The Great British Bake Off . My hope with this book is to change people’s mindsets about cooking and baking and open their eyes to a whole new host of flavours taken from around the world.

Given the choice, the adventurous cook would much rather tuck into fiery fish curry, egg fried rice with Korean gochujang chilli paste or noodles with “about 10 cloves of garlic” than a plate of pretentious haute cuisine. The book also includes Pereira’s guide to her hero ingredients and favourite flavours to give readers more confidence when “boosting their flavours”.Divided into two halves – savoury and sweet – the book showcases the baking that took Crystelle to the final of The Great British Bake Off, as well as her flair for creative savoury dishes. I know for a fact that this was the most expensive meal I’ve ever had and my husband is so happy that I didn’t pay for it. I just received the cookbook and I’m convinced it will take my taste buds on a wild ride :) This book is jam-packed with recipes that are so creative and tasty, I’m drooling just reading them. So far I've tried a couple of the curries, and I have my eye on the miso tahini brownies once the weather gets a bit cooler.
