I am a huge fan of GBB and miss the early seasons with Mary. The cookbook is beautiful. I love the layout, the fact that directions are in steps, and all the photos. I thought tips, techniques, terms, etc were explained so well that anyone can be a good baker and succeed with these recipes. I especially appreciated that recipes listed weight and cup measurements.
I wasn’t able to find any vegan recipes to try, but a good portion seem easy enough to adapt to be vegan and I will try those eventually. Thanks!

I love Mary Berry's cooking shows, but hadn't tried one of her books yet. This book has got a great selection of recipes I still want to try. I tried a few and especially loved her lemon drizzle sheet bake. The recipes are easy to follow
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for a honest review

If you have ever watched The Great British Baking Show you are familiar with Mary Berry. She is one of the tough judges on the popular baking show. In this book she has revised and updated some of her signature baking recipes. I must admit I have seen some of these items baked on the shows and when they say the name of the baking challenge I think I don't even know where to begin to make that. Well this book will help you make those items and many more. From homemade English Muffins to Eclairs to creme brulee you can almost hear her talking in you ear helping you created these fancy recipes.

I really enjoyed this cookbook. I love having the classic British recipes in an easy-to-use format, and Mary's tips and comments add to the experience of the book. I wish there was a photo of every recipe, but that's not a huge deal. I'm excited to make so many of these!

This is such a wonderful and old fashioned cookbook. I've enjoyed making most of her iconic recipes. This book is filled with delicious and mouth watering recipes . Give them a try. You won't regret it.

I absolutely love this cookbook and highly recommend it if you're a fan of Mary Berry or the Great British Bake Off. I have a few Mary Berry cookbooks, but this one has all the British baking recipes that I wanted to see. I haven't seen a copy of the older editions of this book so unfortunately, I can't compare them. However, if you're fan of Mary Berry and the GBBO, you will love this book. Some unique sections of the book include sheet cakes (I don't see so many of those recipes in baking books) and baking for children. I'll be picking up a copy of this book as soon as possible. Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter.

I absolutely love baking, it is not only yummy at the end but also a wonderful stress relief! With enthusiasm I picked up Mary Berry’s Baking Bible and what a delight! A broad range of savoury and sweet, complex and simple, recipes is included with lots of hints and tips.
Easy-to-follow and made with easy-to-access ingredients, I had great fun testing a number of them out for myself and for friends! They were all a hit! From my new favourite Apple and Vanilla Sheet Cake to Meringue Nests, through to potato scones and cheese straws, each one came out as it should and was delicious!
This is a reference book to be explored depending on the occasion, with elaborate celebration baking and children’s baking included too, it will take me a while to get the whole way through it but I will definitely be baking more of Mary Berry’s recipes. It’s a five out of five on the enJOYment scale and highly recommended! It would make a wonderful gift too for a baker family member or friend!

Mary Berry is a British legend for a reason, and this cookbook is a must-read for fans of the Great British Bake Off/Great British Baking Show. These classics of British baking are staples Brits will find themselves making over and over, but some of the dishes may be lost on American readers.

Expanded my baking knowledge.
After watching the “Great British Baking Show”, I had always wondered what Mary Berry’s baking style would be like. After reading this book, the knowledge Mary has is vast and awe-inspiring. With the enormous number of recipes for both special occasions and everyday meals, I did not know where to start.
When I first got the book, I was concerned that the recipes would all be in grams and use ingredients that I never worked with. I was thankful when I saw ingredients that I was used to and that I did not have to do a lot of metric conversions. I did pick up on key tips that Mary offered for baking and I hope to use them in the future.
I concentrated on one bake, Double Orange Cake. I made it for Easter Dinner and it was a hit with my husband and my Father. I myself did not enjoy it but that was only because of tasting the baking powder in the cake.
Even though I struggled with my baking, I would recommend this book to any baker as I feel they could enjoy learning about new baking techniques and recipes.
Thank you, NetGalley, Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, and Mary Berry for this advance read.

An essential guide for bakers at all levels, completely modernised with new photographs - includes 250 bakes with 20 brand new recipes along the much loved classics such as Victoria Sponge, The Very Best Shortbread, Paprika and Cheese Biscuits & Hot Chocolate Soufflés.
Love Mary’s cookbooks for reliable recipes and easy to follow instructions that create perfect bakes every time.
Plenty of inspiration to continue or embark on your baking journey.
The only baking cookbook you’ll ever need

I love the Great British Baking Show and feel that it has never been the same since Mary Berry left, so I was delighted to see that her Baking Bible was available. Mary’s recipes are spot on and a real treat for an Anglophile like myself. The recipes are clear and concise and the pictures are lovely. I recommend this book for any baking enthusiast and especially fans of British Baking.
Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher Clarkson Potter and Mary Berry for the chance to review this book and bake some lovely recipes.

I mean ... it's Mary Berry, y'all. :) I feel like that sums it up! LOL! What else can I (do I need) to say?
Fans of Dorie Greenspan will enjoy this--as will any fan of _Great British Baking Show_ (Great British Bake-Off?), which is to say, everyone. I love its British inspiration and approach, and find the instructions easy to follow (and ingredients easy to find, for the most part). I do think some recipes will take more practice on my part before they _begin_ to look like Mary's--but she's put in the time, unlike me!
Not every recipe had a picture, and I think that would be my one disappointment. But, there are truly worse things in life, and if that's all I can whinge about (lol), I'll take it!
I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I have a couple of Merry Berry’s books (really I mean my husband has them since he likes to bake). My husband and I have only tried a few recipes but they are really good! He prefers to measure everything to the gram instead of using cups and we have found we prefer that method better.
I can vouch for taste and that’s about it but my husband has no complaints and plans to make more recipes in the future!

Classic, elegant, sophisticated...Mary Berry.
This is the ultimate Mary Berry Baking Bible, classic, elegant, sophisticated. Refined and yet absolutely accessible, so that a beginner can tackle these bakes. With measurements in both cups and metric, lovely photos and a crisp layout, this book is a must for any baker. I have baked many of these recipes and can attest that they are foolproof and delicious.
Highly recommend.
Purchased.

This is a great baking bible that would be an excellent starting point for a budding cookbook collector. It has all of the classics and more, including English classics like Battenberg cake. It’s worth noting that not all of the recipes have pictures, which can be a pet peeve for some. Photos would especially come in handy for every recipe in the Special Cakes section, my favorite, as those bakes might not be familiar to everyone.

This single book will make all your baking dreams come true. Filled with all the most popular classics as well as some lesser know treats. Easy to follow instructions that are perfect for bakers of all experience levels.
If you can have only one baking book in your cookbook arsenal, let this be the one.
Note: I have already tried the Dark Indulgent Chocolate And Walnut Brownies and they are amazing! It is now my new go-to recipe for brownies.

Great recipes that are easy to follow. Several recipes are from desserts I have not had in years. Good Nostalgia value. I will be purchasing in Hardback for my cookbook collection.

A book with not only excellent recipes and gorgeous photos, this gives some good explanations for basic phrases and techniques, like tempering chocolate. The writing style is just like listening to Mary Berry explain something on TV and it gives you the confidence that you can do what she is describing. Recipes go from simple cupcakes to more complicated sachertorte, so there is something for the baker at every level and something for them to work their way up to. Instructions seem simple to understand and step by step to give a baker confidence. There is a whole chapter on meringues and soufflés, cheesecakes, breads, crackers and cookies, simple bakes for children, tarts and pastries, and lots of cakes.
This is definitely a book that will be going on my kitchen shelf full of recipes I can't wait to try!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review

Thank you Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this amazing book. This is a great clear step-by-step book on how to bake anything. Very simple, clear directions and easy to find ingredients to create both classics and more modern versions of yummy treats. Definitely recommend.

I love Mary Berry and I think I want to bake every single item in this book. She is the baking queen! It is beautiful, well organized, informative and extensive. I can get lost in the over 250 new and classic recipes. I definitely need to get this book in hardcover as I will be using it for years.
I want to thank NetGalley, Mary Berry and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, Clarkson Potter for this e-ARC. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.
