Nicola Lamb solves the many mysteries of baking: why ganache misbehaves, why dough acts up, and what ‘until golden brown’ truly means. Informative, enriching, and so delicious' – Yotam Ottolenghi 'Nicola understands and explains baking like nobody else' – Jamie Oliver 'Simply extraordinary recipes' – Helen Goh 'Everything you ever wanted to know about baking but were too afraid to ask' – Felicity Cloake Nicola Lamb is the go-to person for all your baking questions and cravings. In her essential new baking bible, SIFT, she takes the fear out of failure and offers up an inspiring collection of over 100 delicious bakes. In the first half of the book, Nicola breaks down the key elements and techniques with boundless enthusiasm and beautiful illustrations. Explore every how and why of baking and move forward with complete confidence – you'll never again wonder why your custard has curdled, why your sponge didn't rise or why your panna cotta didn't set. Nicola's recipes are divided into the time it takes to make a bake, ranging from gooey cookies and airy cakes that you can whip up in an afternoon to fabulous showstoppers you can devote a weekend to. These include: Bake in an afternoon: Roasted Strawberry Victoria Sponge, Miso Walnut Double-Thick Chocolate-Chip Cookies and Bread-and-Butter Pudding with Caramel Mandarins Bake in a day: Salted Vanilla and Pistachio Layer Cake, Fancy Rhubarb Tart and Olive Oil Brie-oche with Roasted Grapes Bake in a weekend: Mocha Passionfruit Opera Cake, Pain au Chocolat and Tiramichoux Sunday Times Bestseller May 2024 Times & Sunday Times Food Book of the Year, November 2024 Review: Everything you need to know to make and create - A long time admirer of Nicola Lamb’s work, there was no question in buying this book. Even recipes I’m skeptical of turn out amazing. (Not a walnut fan but have made the miso walnut cookies weekly since first attempt at recipe). The custard tart is addicitive, and the coriander seed cake with honey cream cheese frosting is a stealthy keeper. It’s almost savoury, but not? So good. I love how she guides the time necessary for the various recipes (and how to adapt or change for own needs) which is especially crucial for me as a mum of two small kids. The three day recipes aren’t something I have time for yet but cannot wait to get a chance to try my hand at pain suisse and I already know her lamination guidance is exceptional from puff school days. Review: The BEST baking book💖 - I have bought recipe books in the past- however when receiving I always felt disheartened and that they were either too complex or too simple/done before. This is the perfect middle ground. I found Nicola on Substack and fell in love with her recipes. They simply JUST WORK. I love the sheer amount of knowledge, science and love that has been put into the book. The organisation of the book is impeccable, so many unique pages and ideas. Every single recipe appeals to me and with the amount of explaining I feel determined to nail them,which is not usually the case. My first bake I've made is the Brown butter banana cookies- I had an overripe banana and thought to try this first recipe, I'm really not a banana fan (the odd few which hates banana bread) in baked goods- however these tasted so so delicious. Honestly I can't wait to bake every single recipe in the book. Thank you Nicola💖😊😊🍪 ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 9,514 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7 in Cake Baking 8 in Cake Decorating & Sugarcraft 55 in Cooking Equipment (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 583 Reviews | ## Images ![SIFT: The Food Book of the Year – Times & Sunday Times - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HKpVXv28L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything you need to know to make and create *by L***N on 2 June 2024* A long time admirer of Nicola Lamb’s work, there was no question in buying this book.

Excellent gift for the creative baker *by L***✨ on 8 October 2025* This is a really, really good cookbook, a treasure for any self-respecting baking lover wanting to take their skill to the next level, and an excellent gift too. Nicola's love for baking is very clear and her way of explaining things and structuring recipes, has inspired me with all sorts of my own "what if I tried that instead" ideas, something that has otherwise only happened with Jamie Oliver. High-quality print, design and cover. Truly beautiful recipes. A pleasure to read. ## Frequently Bought Together - SIFT: The Food Book of the Year – Times & Sunday Times - Ottolenghi COMFORT: The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller - The Last Bite: A Whole New Approach to Making Desserts Through the Year --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/564668273-sift-the-food-book-of-the-year-times-and-sunday](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/564668273-sift-the-food-book-of-the-year-times-and-sunday) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
