A trained chef, Julie Jones started her Instagram account as a means of documenting the beautiful bakes she made with her mother who was suffering from early onset dementia. Her following has grown exponentially and she has appeared on TV and radio - on BBC's Yes Chef with Pierre Koffman, ITV's Beautiful Baking with Juliet Sear and BBC R4's The Food Programme. In 2018 she won the Observer Food Monthly Best Instagram Feed Award and Waitrose Food Magazine has named her as one of the UK's most influential bakers. She is an inspirational force in the kitchen and her supper clubs sell out months in advance. She lives in Cumbria.Instagram: @julie_jonesuk
If you think that Julie Jones's beautiful creations are beyond you, think again. This is as clear and approachable a cookbook as you could wish for. Jones shares all her tips and tricks as she gently walks you through ten different pastries and gorgeous recipes for sweet and savoury pies and tarts. It's worth buying the book for the chicken and chorizo pie recipe alone. Absolutely inspiring.--Diana Henry, -
