Synopsis

More than 830,000 copies sold.

*Now updated with new recipes*

From their first shop in Notting Hill's Portobello Road, The Hummingbird Bakery introduced London to the delights of American-style baking. The simple yet spectacular recipes for indulgentcupcakes, muffins, pies, cheesecakes, brownies, cakes and cookies, in this, their first and bestselling cookbook, ensured that the home cook could create some Hummingbird magic in their own kitchens too.

Now Tarek Malouf and The Hummingbird Bakers have created a new edition of the book, fine-tuning their classic recipes and introducing new bakes such as:

  • Mile-high Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake
  • Sticky Fig and Pistachio Cupcakes
  • Hot Cross Bun Cupcakes
  • Chocolate Cola Cake

The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook was a Sunday Times bestseller in July 2010
