Who’s the author? Caitlin Macdonald is a food stylist and recipe developer who’s passionate about turning budget-friendly ingredients and store-cupboard staples into delicious meals. She has been working full-time on all things food, recipes and cookbooks since 2020, when she began taking a pastry course and was inspired to pursue a career in food.

What’s it about? With Puff It Up, Caitlin has created 60 ingenious ways to use ready-made puff pastry to its full potential.

Each recipe is cooked in one baking tray using one sheet of puff pastry, with the addition of just 10 easy-to-find ingredients or fewer. And with chapters covering tarts with sweet and savoury toppings, twists, rolls, filled pastries, and beautifully decorative centrepieces and treats, you’ll never be stuck for inspiration for using up your puff pastry to the very last sheet.

Recipes we love: Pumpkin, Blue Cheese and Hazelnut Tart, Peach Galette with Honey and Yoghurt Cream, ‘Nduja and Parmesan Twists, Upside-down Leek Tartlets, and Lemon Meringue Tart.

Perfect for: Budding bakers, or anyone looking for recipe inspiration that will help them make the most of their puff pastry.
