Avid viewers of Great British Bake Off will remember Lottie Bedlow from the show's 2020 season, one of the many comforting watches that got us through the worst of our quarantine. Lottie in particular brought joy—and messiness—into her bakes. As she told ABC News, "I think the show above all else taught me how to fail and laugh at myself when things go wrong, which they inevitably did."
This is the spirit Lottie has brought to her new cookbook, Baking Imperfect. It's out now, just in time for all your holiday baking. Even better, we're giving away free copies to 10 lucky winners!
