Synopsis

The book is divided into five sections. There are recipes for moreish breakfast treats, the easiest soups and salads, hearty lunch offerings such as steak sandwiches with black pepper and mustard butter, flavour-packed suppers (many of them one-pot or one-dish wonders) and delightfully decadent puddings to make your own. Many of the recipes have been passed down through the generations, with Queen of Tarts Tina Bester giving them her trademark twist. Offerings like old-school spaghetti and meatballs or retro-inspired lamb chops with cornflake crumbs are bound to become legends in your own household.

About the Author

Tina Bester doesn't mind if her pastry's wonky - in fact this self-proclaimed 'no rules girl' prefers it that way. At her restaurant Queen of Tarts, Tina has created a vintage-styled, playful escape from reality where you can order a slice of gooey chocolate cake for breakfast and nobody bats an eyelid. Bake reflects Tina's travels from a 'no bake' cook to a purveyor of home-baked treats made the old-fashioned way but with a Queen of Tarts modern twist.   Author photo © Tina Bester More books by this author Author 'Like for Like' recommendation
