INTRODUCTION
Ever since the first Hummingbird Bakery opened in Notting Hill, west
London, in 2004 it has been amazing to see how many people have
enjoyed our cakes and treats. That they have also been inspired to bake
at home, however, is something that we never expected. The popularity
of home baking has grown so much since our ovens were first turned on,
which is something that makes us extremely happy. So for Home Sweet
Home, our third cookbook, we decided to celebrate classic home baking
with best-loved flavours and nostalgic recipes – all of which come with
our distinctive American-inspired Hummingbird Bakery twist, of course!
America has a rich heritage of home baking, handed down from
generation to generation, never ashamed of being sweet, indulgent or
brash. But there’s also a down-to-earth quality about American baking,
never needing to be overly fussy or putting style before flavour.
We’ve gone a step further in Home Sweet Home, bringing you a
whole range of delicious goodies, including creative cupcakes like the
tangy Key Lime or quirky Doughnut; simple cookies, such as the melt-in-
the-mouth Chocolate Truffle; impressive but easy-to-make desserts,
including the eye-catching Red Velvet Roulade and divine Peanut Butter
Cheesecake; classic fruit cobblers and some of the most indulgent pies
you’ll ever come across – the Candy Bar is our absolute favourite! Some
cupcakes from our daily specials make an appearance too, such as
Rhubarb & Custard and Popcorn from our old-fashioned sweets and
carnival ranges.
Most people know us for our sweet things, but sometimes a savoury
bake is called for when cooking at home. So we’ve provided some easy
savoury recipes that make ideal snacks or party nibbles. From weekend
comfort home baking and biscuit tin treats to impressive special occasion
cakes, Home Sweet Home includes a wonderful variety of recipes.
We do hope you enjoy our latest offering and that it gives you the
perfect excuse to dust off the weighing scales, fire up your oven and get
that mixer buzzing!
that mixer buzzing!
