Nicola Lamb is a recipe developer, consultant, and pastry chef based in London. She trained in some of London and New York's top bakeries, including Dominique Ansel, Ottolenghi, Happy Endings, and Little Bread Pedlar. She is the author of "Kitchen Projects", a top food and drink newsletter on Substack, praised as an "incredible resource" by the Observer. This weekly newsletter delves deep into the world of pastry, exploring everything from beignets to focaccia, and sorbet to cheesecake.
Nicola's recipes and writing have been featured in Serious Eats, the Guardian, Olive magazine, Vogue, and ES magazine. She continues to host sell-out pastry parties with her pop-up bakery, lark!, and has collaborated with notable names including Verena Lochmuller of Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, Toklas Bakery, Soft & Swirly, and Kossoffs, among others.
Nicola’s first book, SIFT: The Elements of Great Baking, will be published by Ebury in May 2024.
