This sensational cookbook brings you a range of the tastiest treats
from the iconic GET BAKED (R) bakery. GET BAKED in Leeds shot to
fame during 'Sprinklegate', when its founder, Rich Myers,
brilliantly capitalized on the banning of his use of US sprinkles.
Rather than going quietly, Rich declared he would never use the
inferior British variety and boycotted all sprinkles until he had
created a UK version that does the job to his satisfaction!
Expen$ive Sprinkles has now launched and they pair perfectly with
GET BAKED's bold range of desserts including cookies, brownies,
cakes and pies which are all high on the taste and indulgence
spectrum and definite crowd pleasers. This book brings you 40 of
those most popular creations, including Raspberry Glazed Donut
Cookie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Mr Pistachio, Purple Haze, S'Mores
Brownies, Campfire and Birthday Truffles, culminating in the famous
'Bruce', a 24 layer giant consisting of chocolate cake and ganache,
that people travel far and wide to buy. Written in Rich's trademark
style, this book offers a fun and accessible way to enjoy these
unique recipes, meaning bakers of all abilities will enjoy the
tasty treats and sumptuous creations from this increasingly popular
brand.

Take a swig of the Wild, Wild West with 60 historically inspired cattle
kingdom cocktails.
Based on trail life after the Civil War, the cow towns at the time, and
on the drinks enjoyed there, Cowboy Cocktails gives you a true taste of
the cowboy lifestyle. With charming sidebars throughout, learn some
surprising history about cowboys and their experiences in the Wild West
like:
- Free Lunch – During the cowboy era, American saloons offered
“free lunch,” or small bites served gratis alongside drink orders. A
typical free lunch included smoked oysters, crackers with Limburger
cheese, rye bread, and sardines. If you want to recreate a free lunch
and make it a feast, add salted peanuts, sauerkraut, cold cuts,
pretzels, and dill pickles. Crafty saloon owners knew that such salty
offerings not only kept customers around longer but kept them thirsty
for more.
- Chili Powder – German immigrant William Gebhardt first pulverized
dried chile peppers by using a meat grinder in the 1890s. The powder
was popularized along the Wells Fargo stagecoach line in Texas and
became a boon to home cooks and chuck wagon chefs alike. The powder
also helped popularize chili as a recognizable dish across the US.
With whiskey-, tequila-, and gin-based cocktail recipes complemented by
some serious cowboy lore, this cocktail book full of captivatingly
photographed cowboy drinks will transport you to the rough and wild
times of the American Old West. Some of the cocktails you can make
include:
- Dead Man’s Hand – bourbon whiskey, agave nectar, spicy bitters,
Peychaud’s bitters; fun fact: named for the cards Wild Bill Hickok was
holding when he was shot, now called the “dead man’s hand” (two black
aces and two black eights)
- Watermelon Ranch Water – blanco tequila, lime juice, fresh
watermelon juice, Topo Chico (or club soda); fun fact: “ranch water” is
the name for the combination of tequila, lime juice, and sparkling water
- Madame Mustache – mezcal, agave nectar, Angostura bitters, beer;
fun fact: named for Eleanor Dumont, who operated a series of gambling
dens across the western frontier (and, yes, also had a mustache)
- I’m Your Huckleberry – bourbon whiskey, huckleberry syrup, lemon
juice, Angostura bitters; fun fact: named for a real quote said by Doc
Holliday, but made famous by Val Kilmer’s delivery of the line in the
1993 movie Tombstone
- Tombstone Tonsil Painter – rye whiskey, Tawny Port, Benedictine,
Angostura bitters; fun fact: “tonsil paint,” or “tonsil varnish,” was a
cowboy nickname for whiskey
Every cowboy enthusiast who enjoys a good drink needs this book in
their cocktail-recipe arsenal.
There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken.
When the world becomes overwhelming, Ella Risbridger focuses on the little things that bring her joy, like enjoying a glass of wine when cooking, FaceTiming with a friend whilst making bagels, and sharing recipes that are good for the soul. One night she found herself lying on her kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up - and it was the thought of a chicken, of roasting it, and of eating it, that got her to her feet and made her want to be alive.
Midnight Chicken is a cookbook. Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find recipes so inviting that you will head straight for the kitchen: roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies. It's the kind of cooking you can do a little bit drunk, that is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. But if you settle down and read it with a cup of tea (or a glass of that wine), you'll also discover that it's an annotated list of things worth living for - a manifesto of moments worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.
