Snapped: Talk and Tastings, with - Ruby Tandoh

Crumb is the new cookbook from Ruby Tandoh, a finalist in the 2013 series of British Bake Off and a regular columnist for both the Guardian and Elle magazine. A joyful, passionate baking book that reacquaints the readers with the simple pleasures of baking, with a focus on flavour, rather than frippery. It was a delicious blend of practicality and creativity, in which Ruby encouraged novices and seasoned bakers alike to roll their sleeves up and bake – even if they lack proper equipment or know-how. From cakes and bread, to sweet doughs, puddings and pies, these are recipes that'll make it to your table again and again. With plentiful tips and techniques, it is writing to be savoured, just as much as the recipes themselves.

As promised, the evening was a wonderful and fun experience with one of the rising stars in the world of food writing.
