Bloomsbury UK and US jointly acquire new baking book by Paul Hollywood

Bloomsbury UK and US have jointly acquired a new baking book by Paul Hollywood.

Rowan Yapp at Bloomsbury UK and Harriet LeFavour at Bloomsbury US jointly bought world all-languages rights to Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round from Geraldine Woods and Anna Bruce at Yellow Poppy Media in an exclusive submission. Bloomsbury UK will publish Celebrate in June 2025, with the US publication in September of the same year.

"With chapters on spring, summer, autumn and winter as well as party food and cakes, Celebrate has something for every occasion, from Easter and Christmas, to summer picnics, Valentine’s Day and much more," the synopsis says. "It includes recipes for easy traybakes, layer cakes, quiches, tarts, breads, pastries, desserts and cookies, family favourites like mini chocolate logs and twists on classics like strawberry heart scones, as well as Paul’s delectable ‘Bake Off’ cake and scrumptious handheld beef pies. Thanks to Paul’s delicious favours, fool-proof techniques and stunning recipes, Celebrate makes the moments that mean the most to us all the more memorable."

Hollywood said: "I’m thrilled to be working with Bloomsbury on this wonderful book of celebratory bakes. I hope that this will become the go-to book for home bakers, whether you’re celebrating with a big crowd or a party of two; there is something for everyone to enjoy."

Yapp added: "Paul Hollywood, the best baker in the business, is back like a firework with Celebrate. This book is all about joyful bakes to mark the special moments in your life. Having been a judge on ‘Bake Off’ for over a decade and a professional baker for even longer, Paul knows just the right bake to make every celebratory moment all the more special."
