Peter Bakes

From the youngest ever winner of the Great British Bake Off, a debut cookbook filled with classic bakes, imaginative Scottish twists and a myriad of gluten-free options. Peter shares his signature baking style with fans new and old.

In 2020, Peter Sawkins became the youngest ever winner of the Great British Bake Off. Peter delighted the judges' tastebuds — and won over millions viewing at home, during the toughest of lockdown times — with his imaginative, distinctly Scottish twists on baking classics, his unsurpassed flair for flavour and witty, self-deprecating honesty. Not to mention his sheer passion for baking, which took him on an extraordinary culinary journey that began, aged 12, watching GBBO — never imagining that one day he'd be the proud recipient of the prized cake-stand...

And now, in 2021, Peter launches his debut cookbook: Peter Bakes. Full of Peter's own delicious recipes for everything from ever-popular teatime cakes to showstopping patisserie, from yummy puddings that bring a smile to your face to fresh ideas to inspire kids in the kitchen...all, of course, with the gluten-free focus that's so integral to Peter's baking. Other food intolerances will also be covered, making this is a cookbook that genuinely offers something for everyone.

With stylish, youthful photography and design, Peter Bakes offers hints and tips about how to truly enjoy baking, enhance your skills and develop the confidence to trust all your senses when baking. Who can forget the sight of Peter listening so intently to his sponges as he took them out the oven in the GBBO tent? Just one of the unique secrets that Peter will share with his fans, new and old, in this irresistible, easy-to-follow and inspiring cookbook.
