Hand Made Baking: Recipes to Warm the Heart

“He looks like a model and he’ll bring us carrot cake. Meet our dream man… The new king of baking. Step aside, Mary Berry, there’s a new baking guru on the block… Baking God Kamran Siddiqi. The kitchen just got a whole lot hotter.”

– Instyle Magazine (UK), December 2014 Issue

“Don’t let the title fool you, this isn’t your grandmother’s sentimental collection of old-timey recipes. First-person experiences in head notes permeate the title with [Siddiqi’s] highly likeable and informative voice, and the full-page color photography and contemporary design make it a pleasure to read and spend time with the pages. An unpretentious, cheery collection designed to convert fear-filled nonbakers to experts.”

With beautiful photographs, Kamran has captured the essence of home baking, detailing every luscious buttery crust and crumb. You’ll be tempted to lick each and every page”

“Kamran has always seemed wise beyond his years to me, from his ‘old soul’ maturity and charm to his penchant for crafting beautifully sophisticated recipes. I’ve been waiting for this cookbook for a long time, and it does not disappoint!”

“[Hand Made Baking] feels lovely and personal, like you’re peering into the kitchen of a friend who’s invited you over for cake and coffee. From the dedication to the last headnote, a light air of charm and an apparent love of food permeate the writing. Everything in Hand Made Baking, from the friendly headnotes to the luscious images, draws you in and compels you to head straight for the kitchen.”
