The Great British Bake Off: How to turn everyday bakes into showstoppers - Linda Collister

What should have been a niche tea-time show on BBC2 has turned out to be one of the channel's biggest ever ratings winners, with the third series of The Great British Bake Off bringing in around 4 million viewers per episode.

Building on the previous series tie-in book, How to Bake: The Perfect Victoria Sponge and Other Baking Secrets, baking expert, Linda Collister's, latest offering vows to take your skills to the next level, with extra special twists on everything from quick school bake sale cookie and cake recipes, to savoury pastries and breads and more ambitious show-stopping special occasion bakes. 

Also included within the mouth-wateringly photographed pages is 'The Best of the Bake Off', which reveals the most impressive recipes from the amateur bakers on the show, as well as all of presenters, Mary Berry and Mark Hollywood's, 'Technical Challenges' from the series. 

If you're new to the baking game or have only just become a fan of the show, then it's advisable you start with Linda's first book rather than jumping straight into this 'showstoppers' collection as the emphasis really is on those next-level finishing touches, presentation advice and expert tips, with the fundamentals of baking considered a given.
