Alice Arndell from Martinborough is a self-taught baker, drawing from cooking with her grandmother, whipping up ginger gems and other items to fill the tins.
The sandwich and sweet recipes featured here come from her book Bake Me Home. They include a Pressed Picnic Sandwich, Baked Cream Cheese Cob Loaf and Caramel and Salted Chocolate Rice Bubble Cake, as Alice describes to Kathryn Ryan.
Alice Arndell's first cookery book, Alice in Bakingland, won the Best First Cookbook in the New Zealand section of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, and she was a finalist on the Chelsea NZ Hottest Home Baker television show.
