The Messy Baker

Christie’s warm, irreverent voice brings the fun back into baking at a time when home cooksโ€”pulled from pillar to post by jobs and errandsโ€”need to have fun. The Messy Baker is a full-service book that not only guides the reader through simple, delicious recipes but is also there to help out when things go wrong. For anyone who gave in frustration when that cake collapsed or the frosting smeared, Christie’s practical advice is here to rescue even the worst disaster and inspire the baker to try the next recipe.
