Gingerbread is beloved the world over, its very smell and taste signaling that
the holidays are here.
The Book Of Gingerbread conjures up inspiring recipes for cakes and bakes,
cookies, desserts, drinks, and gingerbread houses. From everyday bakes like
Maple and Ginger cupcakes, Sticky Toffee Gingerbread Pudding, and Ginger
Spiced Banana Bread, to spooky creations such as Ginger Pumpkin Pie-thon,
Baba Yaga's Hut, and a terrifying Gingerbread Demogorgon, Helena Garcia's
inventive recipes take gingerbread flavors to new heights.
And what could be more festive than Gingerbread Trifle, Traditional
Gingerbread Men (well, sort of), and a Gingerbread Pub dressed up for
Christmas, all washed down with a warming Gingerbread Latte or (for the
grown-ups) Gingerbread Eggnog.
Featuring templates for the gingerbread houses and a beautiful photo for
every recipe, The Book of Gingerbread will brighten up even the darkest
evenings - and give you a tingle in your toes.
Helena Garcia was inspired by her first experience of Halloween whilst living
in Las Vegas as a teenager. On her return to Europe she researched the
holiday's origins and quickly became hooked on all things Celtic, gothic and
quirky, a passion that infused her bakes when she competed in the Great
British Baking Show 2019, with her eccentric style and fun-loving personality
making her an exceptionally popular contestant. Having run a beautiful
Victorian apothecary in Leeds, Helena infuses her stylish, spooky approach
into everything she creates, including the sell-out merchandise available on
her website. She is the author of Introduction to Witchery (2017), The Wicked
Baker (2020), The Witch-Crafting Handbook (2021), and My Mummy is a
Witch (2023)
