I was a huge fan of Jo Wheatley when she was on The Great British Bake-Off last year, and am truly delighted with her book. It is a fabulous addition to my baking section, and that section is so huge, a book has to be a real stand-out to earn a place in it. Since we are about to launch our Diamond Jubilee celebrations, I have chosen a traditional British recipe, Singing Hinnies, which are gorgeous Geordie griddle cakes.
