Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
Ingredient accessibility: ★★★☆☆
Flavour: ★★★★☆
I cannot get enough of this book — it’s incredible. The cookbook focuses exclusively on cakes, and Nadine’s flavour combinations are unique, balanced, and incredibly well thought out. I would happily work my way through every single recipe.
The overall design is beautiful, with a soft cottage-style aesthetic. Every recipe includes a photo, and the book is divided into seasonal sections.
The Mr & Mrs cake is easily my all-time favourite recipe from the book (blackberry compote layered between five thin rounds of hazelnut dacquoise that become delicate and chewy once set with manjari chocolate mousse). It’s an absolute crowd pleaser — and I’m being so serious when I say I’ve made this cake 4 times in just a few months.
If you’re looking to level up your cake game and experiment with new and interesting flavours (tonka bean, pine nut, finger lime, stinging nettle etc.), this is theee book.
