This book has a number of the recipes from the 8th & 9th seasons (UK) that we love. Series 9 is one of my favorite series/season, I really loved that cast (Rahul, Kim-Joy, Ruby) etc).
I am disappointed however, in the cover art for this book, it feels cold and is quite boring. The image of Paul and Prue is just a 1/2 size dust jacket sleeve. I’ve also noticed the cover material is delicate, the corners show wear easily; when my book arrived, the blue color had already rubbed off the book corners.
The paper is nice quality, and has a pleasant satin finish. Overall, I am glad I bought the book- UK series 9 is one of my favorites.
Anything I feel should have been in the book and isn’t, I’ve mostly been able to find free on the GBBO website.
One thing that may bother some, **they didn’t credit which baker made the Baker’s Recipe’s & showstoppers featured in the book** (something the season 12 book does)..
I went ahead and wrote the name of the Baker for those recipes on those pages just for myself, but be aware, some of the recipes have been simplified or cleaned up (polished) because the baker had to rush during the episodes challenges and the result wasn’t finished, like Briony’s Alice and Wonderland savory pastry pie- the book recipe is changed and simplified a bit for home bakers. I had to do a bit of research for a few recipes, via the ingredient list, to be certain it was their recipe from that challenge.
Recipes are labelled as: “Judges Recipes”- “Baker’s Recipe”- “Entertaining”- “Tea Time Treats”- “Inspired by the Show”- “Baking w/ Children”. I’m only listing the “Baker’s Recipes” & the “showstoppers” below. 👇🏼
Here’s a list crediting the above mentioned recipes in the book: (as they’re not credited in the book).
Keep in mind these (below) 👇🏼 are the UK’s GBBO original sequential series (seasons).
•Bonfire Night Ginger Cake: RAHUL (series 9)
•Sticky Toffee Apple Caramel Cake: KATE (series 8)
•Stem Ginger Cake w/Cream Cheese & Salted Caramel: KIM-JOY (series 9)
•Gilded Pear & Cardamom Cake: TOM (series 8)
•Chocolate Collar Castle Cake: (this one is simplified from the original): MANON (series 9)
•One in a Melon: FLO (Series 8)
•Salted Peanut Millionare Shortbread: LIAM (series 8)
•Decorated Matcha Biscuits: MANON (series 9)— I believe these are a simplified version of the cookie recipe Manon used for her biscuit self-portrait, it’s the only one I’m not sure of.
•Black Forest Slice: DAN (series 9)— these are also a bit simplified from his tv version.
•Coffee & Amaretto Kisses: TOM (series 8)
•Indian Burfi-topped Traybake: ANTONY (series 9)
•Yorkshire Gingernuts w/ Lime: LUKE (series 9)
•Amarspressi Biscuits: STEVENS (series 8)
•Turron & Orange Traybake: BRIONY (series 9)
•Sparkly Chocolate Sandwich Cookies: STACEY (series 8)
•Tangy Citrus Sticky Chelsea Buns: DAN (series 9) — They changed dans recipe, removing the orange zest/juice and using only lemon. For his original version, got to the GBBO website and click his photo.
•Orange Plaited Brioches: SOPHIE (series 8)
•Coconut Kala Chana Breads: KATE (series 8)
•Peak District Chelsea Buns: KAREN (series 9)
•Mango Fruit Hat Pudding: YAN (series 8)
•Ode to the Honeybee Entremet: SOPHIE (series 8)
•Piña Colada Roulade: RUBY (series 9)
•White Chocolate & Yuzu Entremet: (series 8)
•Lemon & Black Currant Drizzle Steamed Pudding: STEVEN (series 8)
•After Dinner Mint Surprise Alaska Tartlets: SANDY (Series 6) This was the only “Baker’s Recipe” from a different season.
•Rainbow Meringue Centerpeace: KATE (series 8)
•Mango Passionfruit Roulade: JON (series 9)
•Gianduja Cannoli: SOPHIE (series 8)
•Misti Singara: RAHUL (series 9)
•Chocolate Ginger Sfogliatelle: STEVEN (series 8)
•Savory Veggie Samosas: RUBY (series 9)
•Down-the-Rabbit-Hole Banquet Pie: BRIONY (series 9) reimagined and cleaned up from tv version)
•Nan’s Sunday Dinner Pie: LIAM (series 8)
• Old Fashioned Minced Beef Pies: STACEY (series 8) they used the pastry top art from one of her other bakes for the book
Many of the Baker’s (and others) recipes are available free online via the GBBO website, but not all. There are a lot of other bakes that are reimagined challenges from other seasons.
Some of the showstoppers have been cleaned up and the appearance has changed due to the tv version looking messy or not entirely working within the time frame for the episode. So you may not recognize some, but the ingredients match the original recipe. I couldn’t place all of the showstoppers in the book.
As for people not liking metric measurements here in the states…many of us have long switched to using kitchen scales for more accurate results in baking (and cooking). A digital kitchen scale is around $20 +/- here on Amazon, and I’ve never looked back after getting mine.
If you’re a fan of series 8 & 9 as much as I am, you’ll enjoy this book.

You’ll need to consult a website that explains British ingredient terms, if you aren’t familiar with the definitions. Some ingredients are best not substituted, in my opinion. For example, the British use golden syrup, where Americans use corn syrup. I order golden syrup from Amazon.
Ingredients are commonly weighed, so a digital scale is a must. It’s more precise than translating metric to standard, and will make your baking results better. Once I started weighing rather than using measuring cups and spoons, I quickly became converted. A good scale is not expensive and there are plenty of choices here at Amazon.
For liquid measures, today’s Pyrex cups all have metric, so no additional effort is required.
If you love the show, this cookbook will probably delight you.
so it wasn’t just ‚german‘ food, it was European food. I love the recipes
that fill out my personal cookbook from my Omi.
I love the fact that I was able to download it to Kindle.
