Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round

"Looking decidedly less gimlet-eyed than he does on Bake Off, Paul Hollywood affably dangles a cherry over an artful drip cake on the cover of his latest. If that intimidates you, never fear. There are many accessible ways into this book, like the delectable Zucchini and Lime Cake, which is oven-ready in about 15 minutes – coincidentally, exactly how long it takes to devour it. There’s easy White Chocolate Cranberry and Nut Cookies and a ridiculously buttery Garlic and Onion Focaccia, babkas and custard tarts and meat pies and crumbles. Why wait for the holidays to celebrate when each of these is a party unto itself?"
