About the Author

David Atherton is the winner of "The Great British Bake Off" 2019. David grew up in a family of five children in North Yorkshire where his love of cooking was inspired by his mother’s freshly baked bread and cakes every week.

His mother’s home cooking and inspiration from his travels, as well as his knowledge in nutrition and healthcare, inspire his recipes today.
Harry Woodgate is a children's books illustrator, who has worked across editorial, publishing and advertising sectors to create visuals that are packed with fun, bright colours and quirky characters.
