DOUBLE THE DELICIOUSNESS

The Great British Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal offers two ways to bake treats: traditional and plant-based!

- PAM O'BRIEN

Everyone gets cake." That's Ruby Bhogal's mantra and the idea behind her first cookbook, One Bake Two Ways. The book features 50 of her mouthwatering creations, like Dark Chocolate Velvet Tart with Dulce de Leche. But here's the twist: Each recipe has two versions-traditional and plantbased. "I want my food to serve everyone," says Ruby, who describes her own eating style as flexitarian. "No matter what side of the dietary fence you're on, we're celebrating with recipes that are equally delicious." Here, two desserts to enjoy-plus the dish on what's next for Ruby.
