Rachel Allen: Bake!

From cupcakes to casseroles, both sweet and savoury baking treats will be given the Rachel Allen treatment in this new series, which proves that baking is back!

In each programme Rachel will introduce a number of distinctive recipes, demonstrated in easy fashion by this passionate cook who believes strongly in utilising organic and natural ingredients. Baking takes on its widest possible meaning in this new series, from breads to quiches to savoury pies and cakes; all are made easy to follow by Rachel as she demonstrates in her kitchen, and also in front of six lucky students at Ballymaloe cookery school in Cork.

Also in a new incarnation for her, Rachel gets out of the kitchen in search of the best advocates of baking in all of its forms. Set in the UK and Ireland, Rachel journeys in search of chocolatiers, master bread-makers, pie makers and cake specialists, to learn from their craft.
