Bake Me Home is a beautifully presented book that will take you back to another era of cookbooks and culinary approaches. Think old-school: high tea and cucumber sandwiches at your nana’s house on colourful little Royal Doulton plates with cups of tea. 

The recipes in Bake Me Home are helpfully organised into various sections, including “filling the tins”, “wine and cheese with the girls”, “the kids party”, and “afternoon tea with the queen.” Alongside retro favourites such as Neenish tarts, Louise cake, pikelets and club sandwiches, are easy versions of banoffee pie, antipasto beer bread, and even a gluten and dairy free version of lime coconut and poppy muffins.

The recipes are easy to follow, and in most cases the ingredients list is simple and does not require you to run all over town to source elusive ingredients – apart from the occasional use of buttermilk, a fridge filled with cream, eggs, butter and sugar should see you right.

Regardless of what your idea of a treat is, or what occasion you are baking for, it is highly likely that you will find something to suit you amongst the various recipes in Bake Me Home.
