Great British Bake Off is hungry viewing – the odd moussey disaster aside – and it can be difficult to resist the urge to get into the kitchen once the credits have rolled. Well, we say don't resist the urge. You've seen what can go wrong and, more importantly, what can go right with even the most challenging of bakes, giving you the perfect head start in trying them for yourself.
From difficult doughs to easy cake recipes, this collection is full of Great British Bake Off recipes inspired by the series.
Fancy setting yourself a technical challenge? With Flaounes, Spanische Windtorte and Mokatines recipes in this collection there's plenty to keep you busy, albeit with a lot more guidance than the contestants receive from Prue and Paul!
Sally Abé's Charlotte Russe recipe has several tricky elements but the results are more than worth it. If you'd rather attempt one or two of the elements separately, try channelling the bakers themselves and whip up a creamy fruit bavarois, as seen in Andrew MacKenzie's Mango bavarois recipe.
