Bake - Rachel Allen Reviews

If you were thinking that this book is only about baking cakes, biscuits or bread then you'd be wrong. Admittedly the title 'bake' would probably lead you down that path of thinking, but it's so much more than that. There are chapters covering anything you can think of that might be baked. To give you an idea, the chapters are ...  Read the complete review

Over the last year or so I have become an increasingly avid fan of Rachel Allen. I'd never heard of her, seen her programs on tv or read any of her books until a friend mentioned that she loved her books and used them all the time. I started looking out for her more and have now purchased a few of her cookery books (although I've still ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of Rachel Allen and always have her TV series on series link so I don't miss any. I own all her books, and as baking is my favourite kitchen pastime it wasn't surprising really that I ended up with two copies of this book as gifts for my birthday! When I saw Rachel was due to release a baking book I was really ...  Read the complete review

I really love this book, and every recipe that I have tried from it so far has turned out mouth wateringly delicious and has provoked demands of 'more cake!' from friends and family. There is a nice range of recipes from cakes to pies, and a really good illustrated section at the back on making different types of pastry, cake decorating ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this as I am a great fan of Rachel Allen despite being a vegan. Many people think I am crazy for buying books that I am obviously not going to use as the recipes have animal products in. However, I seem to have developed an art for veganizing (word?) cakes etc. The book is very well written by Rachel herself and details all ...  Read the complete review

I was given 'Bake' by Rachel Allen as a Christmas gift and, though unsure about her recipes in the past (I'd tried a few from GoodFood online) this book has turned out to be a real staple in the kitchen. In it, Allen shows how simple and versatile baking can be: from pies to cupcakes, Rachel covers everything. There also ...  Read the complete review

'Bake' is as you might expect Rachel Allen's book specialising in baked meals. There is an accompanying series which is sporadically shown on the GoodFood digital channel. The book is in hardback with a matt finish cover. The paper inside is of good quality but also matt meaning that you do have to be careful to protect it ...  Read the complete review

Having watched and enjoyed a few of Rachel Allen's "Bake" TV programs, I decided to indulge my interest in baking by buying the tie-in book. Although it is quite a recent purchase, I've already made quite a dent in the recipe selection, and for the most part have been very pleased with the results. The ...  Read the complete review

I love to cook and bake, and I had been after this book for some time when I saw it on The Book People's website for a bargain £4. I had never seen Rachel Allen on tv, however I had seen this book featured many places and was keen to try out some of the recipies. On receiving this book it is a good size, with lots of ...  Read the complete review

I love to cook and so when my godmother selected this book for me last birthday I bet she was counting on the fact that this would be a winner! No doubt filled with nostalgic thoughts of us baking banana and walnut bread together when I was a youngster I can almost picture her delight when she found it in the book shop..........however ...  Read the complete review

Cooking is something that I do for fun, especially baking so for my birthday my parents bought me Bake by Rachel Allen. I had never heard of her before (I don't get many chances to watch television) but my parents who live in Ireland (where Rachel Allen's from) had heard of her and felt that she made the sort of foods that I would ...  Read the complete review

I love to cook, especially bake, and having caught this TV series now and again, and finding that Rachel Allen always seems to make amazing, family friendly food, I ordered 'Bake' by Rachel Allen when I found it on special on Amazon at £8.00, better than half price! Bargain! It is a hardback book, no sleeve, a quality matt ...  Read the complete review

My brother recently bought this book after watching the TV series. I can't quite make out if this was a good idea or not. OK so maybe it's alright because he wants to be a baker, but then there's the problem of other people using it and wanting to make absoloutly anything! The 288 page long book is full of nice little ...  Read the complete review

Rachel Allen's Bake is my favourite baking book that I currently own. My other half bought it for me as a Christmas present, I carefully opened the wrapping paper on christmas morning and peeked at 'Rachel Allen - Bake' down the side and I was just so delighted with it I could not wait to starting baking - Rachel style! The only thing is ...  Read the complete review
