Summary
For Natalie Paull， baking is a gift。 It's also a powerful elixir of pleasure， connection， generosity and joy。 In Beatrix Bakes， Natalie indulges in baking's sweetest moments with more than seventy recipes inspiring bakers of all kinds to mix and match to make recipes their own – whether it's a lemon curd cream crepe cake or pecan maple cinnamon scrolls。
Sparkling with Natalie's distinct voice， and packaged with full-colour photography， illustrations and rock-solid tips for a perfect bake， Beatrix Bakes also includes 'Adaptrix' suggestions （offering ways readers might do things differently， including short cuts） and is peppered with infographics to help them follow their baking heart。 Try The Cheesecake （That You Will Love The Most） with a crumb base， or a bought biscuit base， or no base， or a sponge base， or even a failed cookie base！ And from there， pick a topping from sour cream， to crumb， to fruity bits。 The recipes are divided across eight chapters: Doughs， Pastries & Crusts; Tarts， Pies， a Crostata & a Galette; The Cake List; One in the Hand; Yeasted Bakes; Fruit-full; Creams， Custards， Fillings， Glazes and Buttercreams; and Finishing Touches。
While Natalie's creations are inspired by classics the world over， they are irreverent too， and in Beatrix Bakes she delights in showing readers that – once they get the foundations right – the truest magic will come from a willingness to play （with the insurance of her many clever ideas and back-up plans in their apron pocket！）。
Beatrix Bakes will guide anyone who loves the adventure of baking to perfect their skills and break the baking mould。

Beautiful book。 My attempts at the recipes have been pretty unsuccessful so far but I will persist。 Everything I’ve tried is SO sweet and complicated to make。 Chocolate sponge cake。 Didn’t have caster sugar and used raw sugar。 So the result was definitely my fault。 Sour cream glaze: Way too sweet and just bleugh。 Chocolate cookies。 Very complicated for a cookie recipe！ Couldn’t bear to add the Demerara sugar as well， so it’s 100g less sugar and the mix is still sooo sweet。 Baked for 35 mins at 1 Beautiful book。 My attempts at the recipes have been pretty unsuccessful so far but I will persist。 Everything I’ve tried is SO sweet and complicated to make。 Chocolate sponge cake。 Didn’t have caster sugar and used raw sugar。 So the result was definitely my fault。 Sour cream glaze: Way too sweet and just bleugh。 Chocolate cookies。 Very complicated for a cookie recipe！ Couldn’t bear to add the Demerara sugar as well， so it’s 100g less sugar and the mix is still sooo sweet。 Baked for 35 mins at 130 and they are delicious， crunchy and chewy even without the Demerara sugar。 Success！ Still headachey sweet， though。 。。。more

I think I need to read this like five times。So many actually useful tips and tricks。 Recipes look gorgeous。 Written in a no-nonsense kind of way。 Have only made one recipe， the chocolate smokey cookies， and it was just a tad bit to sweet for me but with some adjustments I think they'll become a classic in my house。 I think I need to read this like five times。So many actually useful tips and tricks。 Recipes look gorgeous。 Written in a no-nonsense kind of way。 Have only made one recipe， the chocolate smokey cookies， and it was just a tad bit to sweet for me but with some adjustments I think they'll become a classic in my house。 。。。more

My boyfriend surprised me with this book after he caught me fawning over his copy of it。 It's a beautifully presented cookbook， and amazingly helpful！I love the list of pantry and cookware staples。I've already covered it in post-it notes and ideas。 God， my team at work are going to get so spoiled and chubby。。。 My boyfriend surprised me with this book after he caught me fawning over his copy of it。 It's a beautifully presented cookbook， and amazingly helpful！I love the list of pantry and cookware staples。I've already covered it in post-it notes and ideas。 God， my team at work are going to get so spoiled and chubby。。。 。。。more

Recipes that make the most delicious cakes I have ever made。 Interwoven with narrative the recipes can be a bit tricky to follow sometimes and aren't always easy to refer back to for a double check in the midst of baking。 The 'adaptrix' gives great tips on how to variate many recipes。 I do find myself page flicking a bit when using this book though which isn't always easy with flour on my hands to refer to different sections。 All being said the outcome remains delicious Recipes that make the most delicious cakes I have ever made。 Interwoven with narrative the recipes can be a bit tricky to follow sometimes and aren't always easy to refer back to for a double check in the midst of baking。 The 'adaptrix' gives great tips on how to variate many recipes。 I do find myself page flicking a bit when using this book though which isn't always easy with flour on my hands to refer to different sections。 All being said the outcome remains delicious 。。。more

Complete autonomy given to the home chef to alter to their own taste or to what is in season， and even what to do when it all goes wrong。 A beautiful book with stunning pictures and cute encouragement throughout。 Love。

I've made a few things out of this book now， with everything turning out perfectly - the peach polenta tart knocked my socks off。 I'm a bit of a nervous baker because I hate the idea of wasting ingredients when something doesn't turn out。 This book is perfect for me because the instructions are precise down to the gram。 I also appreciate the advice for baking fails - though I thankfully haven't yet had to take any up。This book is suited for people who take baking a bit seriously， who are able an I've made a few things out of this book now， with everything turning out perfectly - the peach polenta tart knocked my socks off。 I'm a bit of a nervous baker because I hate the idea of wasting ingredients when something doesn't turn out。 This book is perfect for me because the instructions are precise down to the gram。 I also appreciate the advice for baking fails - though I thankfully haven't yet had to take any up。This book is suited for people who take baking a bit seriously， who are able and willing to invest in quality ingredients as well as equipment like a stand mixer， thermometer and tins of various sizes and have the time and energy to follow the steps precisely。 That said， enthusiastic beginners are well catered for - the precision and straightforwardness of instructions means that there is little assumed knowledge and a high level of skill is not required。Beatrix Bakes is beautifully presented， well thought out and lovingly put together。 I'm constantly thinking about my next bakeventure！ 。。。more

More than just fabulous recipes。 Natalie Paull shares so much knowledge at the beginning of this book and she gives you the confidence to tackle all the recipes。 The adaptrixes are brilliant to customise your bake to your tastes。 The Cheesecake is soooo good I will never need another recipe for this as it's perfection。 So far I have made the Chiffon Cake， Plum Galette， Choc chip cookies， Two bite jammy tarts and the Cheesecake。 All turned out brilliantly。 More than just fabulous recipes。 Natalie Paull shares so much knowledge at the beginning of this book and she gives you the confidence to tackle all the recipes。 The adaptrixes are brilliant to customise your bake to your tastes。 The Cheesecake is soooo good I will never need another recipe for this as it's perfection。 So far I have made the Chiffon Cake， Plum Galette， Choc chip cookies， Two bite jammy tarts and the Cheesecake。 All turned out brilliantly。 。。。more

This is probably one of the most informative baking books I've ever read。 Who knew people were out here chilling flour so their dough would be the perfect temperature？ I learned quite a bit reading this and am looking forward to putting some of that new knowledge into practise。 Beautiful book， beautiful pictures， beautiful layout and a great set of instructions。 A baking book full of all the secret tips and tricks you wish you knew。 Now if it only had the sour cream chocolate cake。。。 it would be This is probably one of the most informative baking books I've ever read。 Who knew people were out here chilling flour so their dough would be the perfect temperature？ I learned quite a bit reading this and am looking forward to putting some of that new knowledge into practise。 Beautiful book， beautiful pictures， beautiful layout and a great set of instructions。 A baking book full of all the secret tips and tricks you wish you knew。 Now if it only had the sour cream chocolate cake。。。 it would be perfection。EDIT: 8/3/2020 - Attempted the Cocoa Roulade。 Somehow stuffed up the mascarpone and it curdled？ Meringue was slightly undercooked。 Managed to roll it but it then collapsed。 :（9/4/2020 - Made the sponge cake。 30g short on egg yolk but still turned out great！ Success！ Somehow managed to stuff up the passionfruit glaze though。 Second time worked out。23/4/2020 - Made the cheesecake。 I think it was undercooked a tad， super soft but it is set。 DELICIOUS though。 Fairly easy and straight forward for a cheesecake。 Worth investing the time in the crumb base instead of using biscuits。16/5/2020 - Made Maple Walnut Sticky Scrolls。 DELICIOUS。 First time doing any sort of yeasted dough。 So。 DAMN。 GOOD。 The only problem is eating them all。16/8/2020 - Strawberry jewels。 Delicious。 Probably could have boiled the syrup a bit longer but it's gone well with the morning porridge。8/11/2020 - Made the Maple Walnut Sticky Scrolls again。 Fucked the dough first time by not converting the fresh yeast measurement to dry。 Second time was a charm。25/11/2020 - Made the Chocolate Bavarian Pie。 Not as chocolatey as you would think。 I'm not sure if I cooked the custard enough or if I didn't incorporate the cream and the custard together properly because there's this weird layered effect going on but it set and it tasted great。1/3/2021 - Made the Blood Plum Galette but adapted to Queen's Garnet plums。 EXCELLENT。 My dough didn't darkened as much as the picture but I think that was my weird oven so I probably needed to leave it in the oven for an extra five minutes。 The cream cheese dough was super easy for someone who has never attempted pastry before。 I also forgot the lemon because that's who I am as a person but my plums were pretty tart so I think we were okay。20/4/2021 - Made the Raspberry and Almond variation of the Lemon Curd and Pistachio cake。 It's delicious but I am never making it again。 The effort。 Was。 A lot。 Though cake part was super easy and actually fine， it was really just the stress of making meringue buttercream that destroyed me。 。。。more

This is a really beautiful baking book， filled with gorgeous images and plenty of love on the pages。 It takes the form of a lot of modern cook books （such as Anna Jones’ books， which are also great） where you’re given a bunch of basic skills/techniques and handy formulas in addition to actual recipes， so you can change and adapt them to whatever is in season or in the cupboard， or combine elements to come up with your own creations。 I appreciate this flexible approach to food which is often lack This is a really beautiful baking book， filled with gorgeous images and plenty of love on the pages。 It takes the form of a lot of modern cook books （such as Anna Jones’ books， which are also great） where you’re given a bunch of basic skills/techniques and handy formulas in addition to actual recipes， so you can change and adapt them to whatever is in season or in the cupboard， or combine elements to come up with your own creations。 I appreciate this flexible approach to food which is often lacking when it comes to baking！ There are so many recipes I want to try （I’ve made the chocolate caramel bars which were easy and delicious）， all of which are achievable and realistic for a home baker （。。。well， I’m never going to be frying doughnuts at home， but you might）。 It’s nice to see some familiar treats from the bakery in there too。 。。。more
