CLASSIC BAKES
Sarah Samuels’ new cookbook is a celebration of homemade comfort and tradition.
Brought to you by Sarah’s Slice author Sarah Samuels, Classic Bakes is a heartfelt celebration of the cakes, biscuits, puddings and preserves that bring people together.
Packed with more than 80 recipes, this charming collection combines much loved classics with treasured family favourites, inviting bakers of all abilities to create something special from the comfort of their own kitchen.
From Mini Black Forest Cakes and Apricot and Almond Scones to nostalgic puddings and time honoured recipes that have stood the test of centuries, every bake is infused with Sarah’s passion for sharing good food and happy memories. Whether you are looking for a showstopping centrepiece, a comforting afternoon treat or a simple bake to enjoy with a cup of tea, there is something here for every occasion.
Family and friendship are woven throughout the book. Sarah draws inspiration from the people around her, from her son’s favourite Bourbon Biscuits to the Maids of Honour Tarts made for her neighbour Chris.
“Whether you are looking for a showstopping centrepiece, a comforting afternoon treat or a simple bake to enjoy with a cup of tea, there is something here for every occasion.”
Readers will discover the stories behind the bakes, including recipes passed down through generations, such as her mum’s Queen of Puddings and Grandma’s Cumberland Currant Cake.
After rediscovering her love of baking following the birth of her two sons, Sarah began sharing her recipes through her blog during the COVID pandemic, building a loyal following of home bakers along the way. In Classic Bakes, she brings together her most cherished recipes alongside practical tips and encouragement, helping readers gain confidence and enjoy the simple pleasure of baking from scratch.
Using accessible ingredients and straightforward methods, these sweet and savoury creations prove that great baking does not need to be complicated.
Whether you are an experienced baker or just starting out, Classic Bakes is a joyful collection that celebrates tradition, creativity and the pleasure of sharing homemade treats with the people you love.
