The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook
The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook | Tarek Malouf
7 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
The Hummingbird Bakery is the destination bakery for Londoners with a passion for great cakes. In this irresistible book, the chefs from the bakery share their recipes for a delicious range of 60 bakes, from deliciously light cupcakes with pretty buttercream frosting to moist chocolate layer cakes and zesty lemon meringue pie. Hummingbird recipes not only taste great but also look spectacular - without resorting to fussy recipes and hours in the kitchen. The chapters include Cupcakes, Cakes (including loaf, layer, ring and cheesecakes), Pies, Brownies and Bars, Muffins and Cookies. Tarek Malouf grew up in London and attended The American School in London's St John's Wood. It was there that he was introduced to, and grew to love, American desserts and cupcakes. After attending university in London and Los Angeles, he worked for ABC News (American Broadcasting) in their London bureau for several years. In 2002 he decided to leave journalism and started planning The Hummingbird Bakery. The Bakery has branches in Portobello Road in Notting Hill, Old Brompton Road in South Kensington, and Wardour Street in Soho. The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook is his first book.

The household baker has also made these - how amazing do the Oreo ones look 😋 These actually weren‘t from the same cookbook - just some online recipes he fancied baking (but similar to the sort of recipes in the book)

mcipher Those are gorgeous! What‘s the other flavor? 5y
CaseyLea @mcipher He‘s done a great job! There are three flavours - lemon and blueberry, Oreo, and carrot 😋 5y

It‘s a blustery autumn day today, so the husband has been baking oat and raisin cookies from The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook (a favourite in our household), before our family comes to visit! I may need to sneak one aside to have with a cuppa and a good book later!

1. Wow, that's a good question! I have to completely believe in the characters and situations, there can be nothing that makes me go "huh?" Some humour and a nice turn of phrase helps and if I learn something, or there's a perspective I hadn't considered before, it's a winner.
2. Souvenir fridge magnets and pens
3. Tagged and also the AWW New Cookbook
4. Too many to list

Eggs 😋😋so pretty 7y
Magpiegem @pilardib @Reviewsbylola @Kaye @Redwritinghood @Eggs thanks you so much 😊 I used to bake all the time but since I had kids my bakes have turned out as disasters more than successes! But I seem to finally be getting my baking mojo back! Only took 5 years!! Xx 7y
Magpiegem @Jess_Read_This thank you 😊definitely get the book it‘s great. My favourite is the carrot cake. The secret to these cupcakes- mini marshmallows- just cut on the diagonal dip the sticky side in glitter if you want and stick them onto icing 🍰😊 xx 7y
Eggs Cupcakes have become an art form of magnitude!! Plus there's such a wonderful selection of edible sparkly toppings 😋😋 7y

Thinking of making this to bring to my brother's birthday coffe tomorrow afternoon but I'm not sure if I want to wrestle with the bundt pan. Haven't used one in years because the cake would always get stuck — now I got a silicone one and trying to decide if this is a good time to try it out 😬

Megabooks Yeah, you really have to grease every nook and cranny in those! 8y
Elisa @BookishMarginalia it looks so good, doesn't it? 😍😍 8y

Elisa @Ebooksandcooks is that the trick? Greasing every little corner? I'd love to give it a try but I only have time to bake one cake, no do-overs! 8y
Megabooks @Elisa Yes! Even if it's nonstick, copious softened butter in every crevice. It's better to overdo a little than miss any spot. 8y
Elisa @Ebooksandcooks thank you, I'll give it a try! 8y
TaylorMay Check out Alton Brown. I know he has some tips for bunt pans 8y
Elisa @TaylorMay that's great, I definitely will, thank you!! 🌷 8y
TaylorMay No problem and good luck! Hope to see pics! 8y
