I want to show you how baking works. You don't even need a sieve. And for baking veterans, this book tells you why you're doing what you've been doing all these years. Here's to baking that just works.

James Morton was runner-up on Great British Bake Off 2012 and loved for his uniquely creative approach to baking. He published his first book, Brilliant Bread, in 2013 which won the Guild of Food Writer's Award for Best Cookery Book the following year. Now a qualified medical doctor, James combines imagination and chemistry in his recipe writing, applying an evidence-based approach to baking to dispell unnecessary myths, concoct foolproof recipes, develop techniques that work, and to help as many people as possible become better and more confident bakers. His books are the new classics for the home kitchen and essential to every baker's collection.
