The world of baking can appear daunting, but with Baking Imperfect, you’ll learn to get through the trials with joy and a newfound sense of determination when things go wrong or get messy (and they will!

The marvellous combination of Lottie’s sharp wit and tempting recipes means you learn how to tackle key skills without even noticing – you’re too busy eating. I get that she was trying to make it accessible for all, but I wish that would have been included in parentheses.

Expect recipes such as triple chocolate and salted caramel-centred cookies, "sin-amon rolls", "minimal faff brioche" and "foolproof custard".

Her Lancastrian great-grandmother was a passionate cake-baker passing on the genes and sharing the love of baking with Lottie.

From easy cookies and puddings to more elaborate cakes and pastries, each recipe in this book will score points where it matters the most—on the taste buds. Maxfield commented: “I’m thrilled to be championing this extra‐clever baking book that stands out for its unique troubleshooting concept.Each recipe highlights potential pitfalls, with notes on what to look out for and how to find a fix. Teenagers are overloaded, strapped for time, and often asked to wake far earlier than they should because of school start times. I found Lottie's snarky good humor instantly appealing, and as the season progressed, her warm and caring nature started to peek out.
