HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS LTD The Messy Baker Charmian Christie Summary The Messy Baker offers food made and enjoyed in a kitchen not unlike your own. Charmian Christie has worked in many professional kitchens but prefers the realities of a home setting to a stainless steel "test" kitchen every time. It just makes things taste better! There is nothing trendy or artful about real baking; it's honest, sticky, humble and moreish. The Messy Baker is an antidote to the precious perfectionism of today's baking, where every cookie on the plate is just like the next, each layer of cake is exactly the same height, and impeccably scalloped pie crusts dare you to cut into them. To the uninitiated, all this fastidious, spotless baking is intimidating. The rest of us, out here in the real world, cook and bake in space­challenged kitchens where floors aren't always HarperCollins Publishers Ltd waxed and there's cat hair to consider. Lopsided cookies and interestingly shaped pies 9781443418669 On Sale Date: 8/26/14 are the norm, and, in The Messy Baker, they are celebrated.
