Hot Chocolate Hits

Cookbook

I am thrilled to announce the launch of my first cookbook, 52 Weeks, 52 Sweets!

Inside 52 Weeks, 52 Sweets

  • The book is seasonally and culturally themed, with a recipe for each week of the year (52 recipes for 52 weeks), organised by months.
  • Each recipe is written with gram measurements, ounce measurements and cup measurements.
  • I’ve shot and styled all of the photograph in the book. 
  • Recipes can be adapted for dietary preferences, and there’s also a collection of vegan, eggless and gluten-free recipes for your enjoyment, that do not compromise one bit on flavour. 
  • You’ll learn important baking techniques, shortcuts, and lessons, all of which I’ve learned over time.
  • Each recipe includes the prep time, cook time and storing instructions so that you can plan ahead.
  • I share helpful information about key ingredients used in the recipes.
  • The recipes all have introductions describing the recipe, how I came up with it, and/or sharing a short personal story about the recipe. Likewise, each chapter (themed around a month) has an opening paragraph describing what’s ahead.
