My Little Black Book of Baking is by Luis Troyano.  Luis was a finalist on series 5 of the Great British Bake off in 2014. Luis sadly died from Oesophagus Cancer in October 2020. Whilst Luis was going through chemotherapy, he put together all his favourite recipes and baking tips. His wife Louise put them all together in a book to share his ‘most precious recipes’. 

The book is split into 3 sections, Cakes, Bread and Tarts & Treats. There are over 40 recipes including 3 Vegan recipes.

Tips include how to make the perfect cupcakes and how to make a great sourdough loaf. 

The book is spiral bound making it easy and convenient to use in the kitchen, it is made of wipeable card so anything splashed from your baking can be cleaned away.

In his own words; “I wanted to share everything in here with you all so it doesn’t get lost in the midst of time. On my journey I’ve learnt that cancer affects a lot of people in various ways, myself included. I’m trying to figure out if there is a moral to it all, but really there isn’t.  I think I have just been unlucky. The only words of wisdom I can pass on is that if you ever don’t feel something isn’t right with your body go see your GP straight away and get checked out”

This is a limited edition run so when this is sold out it won't be restocked.
