About this audiobook

'An audiobook you can cook along to, Breaking Eggs is a novel idea with excellent results' - Guardian

In this active audio guide, Ruby Tandoh will guide listeners through four simple bakes: A simple butter cake that's sweet, rich and moreish; a nutty, tangy rye apple galette; a swirling constellation of vanilla custard buns; and miso brownies, for a shot of umami, salty goodness. With step-by-step instructions alongside musings and meditations on food and life, this is a mindful cooking experience like no other.

Surrender to the experience, and immerse yourself in the process. This isn't about double-checking the fine print, triple-checking the photo, or starting again. It's about being, for just a moment, entirely in the doing. You'll be given clear instructions on what each step should look, feel and smell like, and as you focus on the sound of Ruby's voice and the delicious bake in front of you, everything else on your mind might just fade away...
