Peanut Butter & Jelly Cake with Roasted Cherries
+ SIFT IS COMING TO NORTH AMERICA
Since publishing my debut book SIFT a few months ago, one question has dropped into my DMs again and again: When can I get your book in the US and Canada?!
well… I’m SO excited to finally announce that SIFT is officially making its way to North America. On Tuesday 12th November, SIFT will be on shelves across the US and Canada and guess what? It’s had a bit of a makeover. Yes, the rumours are true.. SIFT... is… PINK!!!:
And ain’t it just gorgeous?! The colour is SO bright and energetic IRL, too. I can’t wait for you to see it. I feel so incredibly lucky to an international editions of the book - proper dream come true stuff.
I’m so excited that the North American edition of SIFT has been blessed with an amazing team from Clarkson Potter who have put so much energy and love into this edition of the book. One new member of the SIFT team is Maria Zizka, author of many gorgeous books (including the just released ‘The Hostess Handbook’), who cross tested the recipes with US ingredients and provided alternative measurements and proper °F oven temps. So cool.
… and whilst we’re on the subject, I’m happy to confirm that there are both weights (g) and volume measures (cups) in the NA edition of the book. This book also has taken in all the latest updates and revisions, too!
I’m so happy that SIFT is officially available for pre-order from all good bookstores across the US and Canada. I'm sure you've heard this before, but pre-orders are a huge part of what makes a book successful. If there's strong pre-orders, the bookshops and salespeople are like ‘ooooh what’s this?’ and start to pay attention, which means they then put more energy into getting it out there!
I'd be so honoured to be part of your future cookbook collection, and I'm confident this is a book that you'll be able to go back to again and again. Here's where you can find out more about that:
Thank you so much for your support and I can’t wait to show you more. And if you’re reading this not in the US - please do forward along to someone you think might love the book!
AND FINALLY… I’m planning to visit the US in November and creating a bit of a tour for November, so let me know which cities and bookshops I should head to!

Today’s Recipe
I know no better way of celebrating this news than with cake. And obviously it had to be an ode to North America - and one thing that has always made an appearance in my trips over the years? At least one emergency PBJ. So, to celebrate the launch of SIFT in the US and Canada, meet my PBJ inspired cake. Super tender peanut sponge (which you can use to make ANY number of nut paste sponges.. hazelnut? tahini? yes please) with maple whipped cream, jam and roasted cherries:
You’ll find the recipe for that, available for KP+ below
