Sandro!!!!! As a Great British Baking Show super fan, I was ecstatic to see fan-favorite Sandro from the 2022 season release a book!
This is a really fun cookbook! Each section is separated by “vibe” (e.g., Give Me Confidence, Lift Your Spirits). There are several what I would classify as advanced bakes (as I expected!) but there are also several easier bakes I am excited to try! I am most looking forward to baking the Brownie and Strawberry Cookies!
Several beautiful pictures throughout, many with Sandro, but some recipes have zero pictures which is my biggest cookbook pet peeve and knocks a star from my rating.
Overall, a beautiful, fun cookbook I would recommend to any baking enthusiast or Great British Baking Show fan!
Thank you to NetGalley and DK for the advanced review ecopy!
I like Bakeoff so I was interested to see what would be included in this book. The things in here looked really tasty, however, there were very few items that I could see myself actually making. Most of it seemed to be for show as opposed to being something that your average person would make to enjoy. I'm also not sure if this was simply a formatting thing with the ebook, but everything was formatted rather strangely and didn't seem to make a lot of sense with spacing and picture size. I'm still giving it 4 stars because the things did look good, just not really stuff I would take the time to make.
Good Vibes Baking focuses on everything about baking. The whole books premise it to encourage confidence in your baking skills.
The Sections are
Feel the Vibe: about the author, Sandro Farmhouse
Love Language
Give me Confidence: confidence in baking
Lift the Spirits: comfort bakes
Touch the Sky: show stopping cakes
It’s a Fiesta: bakes for events
Sharing is Caring
Many Hands
Basic Recipes and Techniques
Each recipe has a little blurb about the recipe, ingredients, and directions along with most recipes having pictures.
The directions are very clear and easy to follow. The formatting of the ebook was a little off, still easy to read but pages collided some. There are many recipes I am excited to try like the rum spiced- pineapple tarts.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I really liked Sandro when he was on the Great British Bake-off, and his cookbook did not disappoint. This cookbook has lots of fun and sparkly recipes, just like Sandro's. I can't wait to try out some of his recipes.
