Accompanying the Channel 4 series, A Baker's Life contains 100 of Paul Hollywood's very best baking recipes, which have been finessed over decades spent as a baker.
Each chapter is filled with bakes that represent a different decade – learning the basics at his father's bakery; honing his pastry skills in the finest hotels; discovering the bold flavours of the Middle East while working in Cyprus; and finding fame with the phenomenally popular Great British Bake Off television series.
Thanks to this book (and its clear step-by-step instructions), recipes that Paul has spent years perfecting can be recreated at home. Favourites include garlic baguettes; feta and chive bread; chorizo and chilli Scotch eggs; mum's ginger biscuits; double chocolate Danish twists; and hazelnut cappuccino cake.
With photographs from personal family albums, plus many professional insights into and anecdotes that reveal what makes a great baker, A Baker's Life will show you how to bring the baking skills Paul has learnt over a lifetime into your own home kitchen.

      Famous for his steely critiques and hard-won handshakes on The Great British Baking Show, celebrity chef and TV host Hollywood is comparatively warmer in print. His gorgeous new baking book collects 100 recipes--including ginger biscuits, double chocolate Danish twists, and matcha mirror glaze gateau--gleaned from his more than 30 years of professional experience. Ranging from easy to exacting, these and other treats (e.g., breads, puddings, savory pies, British classics) will intrigue most home bakers. U.S. readers will need to decipher British measurements and ingredients (e.g., strong flour, caster sugar, double cream). Turn to Hollywood's How To Bake or search online for more information on ingredients used. VERDICT Hungry for more of The Great British Baking Show? This one's for you. Highly recommended.
