Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Blonde peanut butter cookies

    • hlange on January 05, 2024

      Nice peanut butter cookie. You can definitely pick up on the lemon juice which gives them a bit of a twist. I subbed 00 flour for wholemeal flour. These don't keep well at all at room temp. but they freeze perfectly.

  • Ras el hanout snickerdoodles

      Incredible recipe, yielding divine chewy cookies every time. An easy make ahead party pleaser.

  • Fluffy blueberry muffins

    • tarae1204 on February 26, 2024

      Disappointing, and really problematic recipe for me. First, a major issue with this book for the American reader is it is not translated from British English into American parlance. She calls for a "large" muffin tin in step 1 (and says the recipe will make 10 extra-large muffins elsewhere). This would be a "jumbo" muffin pan - I did not realize in time. She wants them baked at 400 F (she actually writes C but means F), which is high for a muffin usually done at 375. The measurements for the blueberries seem off. I had a bag of frozen blueberries weighing 340 grams and that was about 3 cups. She calls for 430 grams/3 cups blueberries. She strongly urges to undermix - great advice. I would have gladly followed that advice had I not had to elbow my way through the dry, floury batter. I adjusted time in oven to 25 minutes. Too brown on edges, colored blue elsewhere as I couldn't undermix. Undersweet, lacked a pinch of salt, and just meh.

  • Basil, Parmesan and pine nut scones

      Smothered with extra butter and crumbled feta cheese on top, such delicious savoury scones.

Publishers Text

From the baker of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding cake comes this collection of delectable, achievable baking recipes. From the author of The Violet Bakery Cookbook and the baker of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding cake comes this selection of wholesome and indulgent recipes. In Baking The Seasons, Claire Ptak brings her West Coast of America fruit-forward perspective to British baking traditions. Simultaneously modern and traditional, these cakes offer an air of familiarity - homely, yet elevated with the best possible ingredients chosen at the height of their season to extract the best possible flavours. From English classics, such as Black Forest Gateau and Rhubarb Victoria Sponge to Californian-inspired Butternut Squash and Brown Butter Cobbler and Chocolate Glazed Donuts, this cookbook offers over 75 recipes, including gluten-free, refined sugar-free and vegan bakes, and the famous royal wedding cake, Lemon and Elderflower Layer Cake. Taking inspiration from her childhood growing up in Northern California to her years training at Chez Panisse, and her ten years of living in London, Baking The Seasons is a love letter to Claire Ptak's roots.
