A hilarious, family-friendly cookbook from the creators of the hit Netflix baking show Nailed It!If you love your bake off programs whether in the UK TV or on Netflix and love to bake then you will love this book. Available to buy from November 1st but you can pre-order a copy from Amazon.
Baking is not for the faint of heart. The perfect result may require overnight refrigeration, weighing different flours, a deft hand with a piping bag, and endless patience. But why let perfectionism ruin a good thing? Like the hit Netflix series, the Nailed It! cookbook asks bakers to take themselves and their sweets a little less seriously, offering sound advice for better baking (and an even better time doing it) by embracing the failures that happen along the way. The book includes recipes and photographs of drool-worthy baked goods, accompanied by tips for how to set up your own Nailed It! challenge, helpful tricks of the trade from the likes of judge Jacques Torres, the hilarious commentary and perspective host Nicole Byer provides, and images of epic fails throughout.
Nailed It!is a book for bakers of every age and every skill level, perfect for families and friends to come together and get their hands (and their kitchens) dirty. With hilarious behind-the-scenes peeks and odes to the show’s most iconic baking disasters, it’s also a must-have companion for every fan.
With over 141 reviews and most giving 5 stars this book is definitely one for your table.
Everyone knows that chamomile tea is the answer to a good night’s sleep, that lemon tea is an invigorating way to start your morning and that ginger tea can settle your stomach.

It would make a great present for anyone who needs a tonic. A great little book that makes foraging fun especially when a lot of ingredients are probably already growing in your own garden, like rose petal, rose-hips, herbs and dandelion roots. So many great recipes, you won’t know which one to try first.
