Bake - Irish Baking with Modern Twists.

Graham Herterich, aka The Cupcake Bloke, has always been fascinated by taking classic Irish recipes and giving them a modern twist. By classic, he means proper bakes like soda bread, tarts, porter cake and brack all the way up to modern classics like jambons, cheesecakes and fifteens.

In Bake: Traditional Irish Baking with Modern Twists, every recipe for a traditional bake is followed by a fresh new spin using the ingredients available in Ireland now, from advieh to zhug. It may not be an exact update of the recipe – it could be a modern interpretation of the flavour combination or a reinterpretation of the concept, like a classic coffee and walnut cake reimagined as a coffee and walnut pavlova with coffee poached pears. This book makes a lovely addition to your collection. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning food styling and photography to entice you into the kitchen and dust off the baking tins. Graham writes in such an accessible way, his passion for food comes through in every recipe. This book has proven to be such a hit that it has been followed by the much anticipated Cook-Traditional Irish Cooking with Modern Twists which is available here.
