sweet seasons: wholesome treats for every occasion

After the success of All Day Baking: Savory, Not Sweet (as featured on Jamie Oliver’s Cookbook Club), Michael and Pippa James return with Sweet Seasons, in this cookbook featuring more than 80 delectable recipes from retro hits to modern marvels.

Discover how to embrace the sustainable side of sweets by using seasonal fruits, alternative sugars, wholegrains and other flours. Try fail-safe recipes for traditional favorites such as hot cross buns, mince pies, and other festive fare, and nail the classics such as custard tart, sponge cake, chocolate chip cookies and other achievable treats.

Sweet Seasons also includes wonderful recipes for perfect pastries and pies, brownies, biscuits and more. You’ll find fabulous Florentines, luscious lemon poppy-seed cake, and creative custards and curds. It’s the only sweet book you’ll need to celebrate all of life’s seasons.
