Perfect Ten

Ten iconic recipes, tested to perfection, designed for you to memorise, master, and eventually make your own. These are the foundations for a lifetime of brilliant baking.

Bestselling and award-winning author Nicola Lamb is bringing you the only recipe you’ll ever need to make the perfect:

• Choc Chip Cookie
• Shortbread
• Flaky Pastry
• Buttery Cake
• Fluffy Sponge
• Chocolate Mousse
• Caramel
• Meringue
• Custard
• Bread Dough

Each perfect base recipe comes with its own family tree of variations designed to show just how reliable and adaptable they are. For example, take your base Chocolate Mousse recipe and add gelatin to get the Marbled Mousse Cake. Freeze it, and you end up with Salty, Toasty Ice-Cream Sandwiches. Add flour and cocoa, increase the butter and the result is Really Good Brownies.

An instant classic, Perfect Ten will become the go-to-guide for new and established bakers alike.
