Book description
Tom and Henry Herbert - The Fabulous Baker Brothers - are fifth
generation bakers with a passion for food in all its forms. Tom is a
talented master baker whose famous Hobbs House Bakery sits just next
door to his younger brother Henry's butchery. Together our young
brothers work side by side making the amazing bread and delicious meaty
accompaniments and fillings that have made their businesses so
successful. Here, in this brand new cook book to accompany the hit
Channel 4 show, The Fabulous Baker Brothers share with us mouthwatering
oven-based recipes that unlock a world of gorgeous homemade breads,
pastries, pies, cakes and confectionary. With carefully chosen
ingredients and some easily-mastered techniques - this is healthy,
wholesome, beautiful food that doesn't cost the earth to make. Fully
illustrated throughout with photographs of the boys, their shops and
Cotswold surrounds, and of course their stunning produce, this cook book
gets to the fundamental heart of British good food as two of the
country's most respected and successful artisans teach us how to bake
like professionals in our own homes. Fresh out of baking college, Tom
(33) won Baker Of the Year and his signature sourdough has won Organic
Loaf of the Year 9 times in the last 10 years. Henry (24) left his role
as Head Chef of the award winning Coach & Horses in Clerkenwell to
face a new challenge, buying the traditional butchers next door to Tom's
bakery. Now the two work and cook side by side, professionally and
domestically, creating every element of a meal; from the bun to the
burgers and even the homemade pickles that top them off.
