Shane Smith

Shane Smith is a celebrated Irish chef whose debut book Loaf Tin Bakes: Easy baking for every occasion using the humble loaf tin was published by Gill Books in April 2026. Loaf Tin Bakes collects over 80 sweet, glazed, no-bake, frozen and savoury recipes built around the humble loaf tin — from nostalgic Madeira and lemon drizzle to rich chocolate fudge and a no-knead garlic rosemary loaf — designed to be quick, fuss-free and impressive enough for a dinner party.
