This week Adam is joined by cook book author and Australian Baking Icon Natalie Paull, AKA Beatrix Bakes.

Over a breakfast of cake and biscuits, Adam and Nat chat about her early baking adventures, the secrets to a perfect sponge and the joys of sharing baking wisdom and recipes. They also discuss why the provenance of a recipe is so important, and in the battle of classic Australian bakes Nat determines the ultimate Australian Bakery food

And don’t forget the genres of bakes Nat chose:

• Cheesecakes


• Fluffy Cakes


• Fruity bakes
