Welcome to “Around the World in 80 Bakes”, a journey through the rich and diverse world of baking! From the golden-crusted tarts of France to the delicate steamed or baked buns of Asia, from the aromatic spice-laden cakes of the Middle East to the rustic, time-honoured breads of Europe, this series will take you across continents—one bake at a time.

Baking is more than just mixing flour, sugar, and butter—it’s a reflection of culture, history, and tradition. Every country has its own signature baked goods, shaped by its climate, ingredients, and the stories of its people. Each bake tells a story—of migration, of trade, of celebration. Through this series, we’ll uncover the origins of iconic baked treats, explore the history behind them, and provide step-by-step recipes so you can recreate them in your own kitchen.

Each edition of Around the World in 80 Bakes will focus on a different country or region, bringing you:

✔️ An authentic or inspired recipe with easy-to-follow steps
