Critical Reviews

"Fans will eat this up." --Publishers Weekly

"American fans of Bake Off will recognize some of these decidedly English cakes and sweets, such as the Victoria sandwich. Those who lean away from cakes and sugary pastries will nevertheless find themselves entranced with Hollywood's aromatic cheesy bread, rich with Parmesan, cheddar, and brie. Chapatis, pitas, and tortillas are just a few international doughs that expand the book's outlook beyond North Atlantic traditions." --Booklist

"Combines practicality with inspiration. [Hollywood] explains the basic techniques for all kind of breads, cakes and pastries, with steps and great photographs alongside delicious recipes. He also explains how to avoid common pitfalls, and the tricks that work. Best of all, he explains why--so it all suddenly makes sense." --BBC Good Food Magazine on HOW TO BAKE

"The greatest expert in the history of British television." --The Guardian

"Paul Hollywood is passionate about busting the myths that surround baking, sharing his finely honed skills, and showing that with the right guidance, anybody can achieve success time afer time." --Sunday Telegraph on HOW TO BAKE
