From baking guru Linda Collister, here is a mouthwatering collection of sweet and savoury recipes for a delicious and nutritious start to the day. There's nothing better than home baking and not even the best shop-bought treat can compare. Based on fresh or dried fruits and nuts, morning bakes are more robust and lower in fat and sugar than their rich tea-time counterparts.
These easy-to-follow recipes appear in four scrumptious sections:
- Muffins: try Lemon, Almond and Blueberry Muffins, Cornmeal and Bacon Muffins, and Fresh Peach and Oat Muffins - all quick to make and delicious too.
- Quick Breads: including Malted Brown Soda Bread, Saffron Scones, French Toast and American Pancakes - great ways to start your day.
- Loaf Cakes: Dorset Apple Cake, Pear Gingerbread or Carrot and Almond Loaf Cake - perfect for a mid-morning treat.
- Yeasted Breads: Cinnamon Raisin Nut Bread, Apricot and Honey Rye Bread and Sour Cherry Brioche - ideal for leisurely weekend brunches.
Each recipe includes essential storage times, plus toasting and freezing details to help you plan, prepare or bake in advance. So for relaxed mornings, this book saves you precious time and makes baking simple and fun.
