When we bake, it’s never just about the richness of the butterscotch or the crisp flakiness of the pastry. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran, you do it for reasons far beyond the mere production of a piece of food. Few know this better than Helen Goh, who – along with being a recipe developer with Ottolenghi for more than a decade – is, uniquely, a practising psychologist.
In this, her first solo cookbook, Helen draws on her own life to bring together 100 favourite recipes that show how baking is the ultimate vehicle to convey joy, connection and personal growth.
