Since starting my baking journey back in March 2021 I have always been a follower of Jane Dunn and her amazing cakes that she makes, her recipes are great for anyone starting out as they explain everything in such an easy way. Jane’s Patisserie: Deliciously Customisable Cakes, Bakes and Treats is her newest book and became a bestseller immediately. You can purchase the book from Amazon for £10.00

Janes baking blog is so inspirational and gives out so many different ideas and top tips on how to make delicious treats. https://www.janespatisserie.com/
Great British Bake Off has always been an influence in my baking from the day that I first watched it. The GBBO book that comes full of recipes is a great way to get people into baking with the amazing recipes from some of the previous contestants on the show who share their recipes for signature dishes that they have created. All ingredients are easily accessible in supermarkets to help you create these amazing bakes.

The GBBO web page also has some amazing recipes for people to use and is updated quite frequently so there are always new delicious treats to try and make at home that the bakers have uploaded there. https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/
BBC good food is great for beginners who want an easy recipe and not need a lot of equipment or ingredients to do so. This is where I looked to make one of my first traybakes and it was delicious.
There are so many different options on the app for BBC Good Food for people with allergies so you wont be stuck for choice.
