nd later help - her mother and grandmother bake bread at home. She grew up in a large household in London, although her parents were from Guyana. It is this heritage which has influenced Helen's life and career, culminating finally in this beautiful recipe book in which she is delighted to share family recipes that have survived the generations.

This book is a reflection of her skills as a baker, acquired during her training at Westminster Kingsway College and Le Cordon Bleu School in London, which have enabled her to build The Acorn House Bakery into what it is today. She is excited to have collated and produced this wonderful collection of recipes - her first recipe book - for your enjoyment and has presented them in four distinct sections for simplicity: Light Savoury Snacks, Flans and Tarts, Cookies and Sweet Treats and Cakes, Sponges and Scones.

There really is something for everyone in this stunning collection, so if you're looking for a recipe book that has that little splash of 'je ne sais quoi', then this is the one for you.

Helen's passion for her craft shines through. You will definitely not be disappointed with the results!
