Whether you've got a sweet or savoury tooth, we all know what it's like to really fancy a little (or large) bit of something. GBBO contestant Martha Collison's new book Crave is about just that - and we're asking you to share your cravings below for a chance to win.

We all know the feeling. What starts as an insignificant little niggle which grows into a demanding full-on craving. The kind that drags you out of bed in the middle of the night on a search for cheese, or causes you to break away from your desk in a desperate hunt for chocolate.

Crave is the second book from Sunday Times bestselling author and Great British Bake Off contestant, Martha Collison. Using inspired food science and delicious cuisine combinations, she provides go-to recipes incorporating eight flavours we so often find ourselves hankering for: chocolate, cheese, caramel, citrus, fruit, nut, spice – and alcohol!

These include ‘Instant’ recipes like lemon cheesecake pots, ‘Soon’ recipes that are ready to snaffle in under an hour, such as chilli chocolate churros, and you’ll also find ‘Worth the Wait’ recipes, which really are what they say on the tin... Creative, inspiring and imaginative, these are the recipes you just have to have.

For the first time since the introduction of the original Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in 1936, KitchenAid has launched a mini version of its iconic culinary workhorse. The KitchenAid MINI Stand Mixer, is 20% smaller and 25% lighter with a 3.3 litre bowl - perfect for smaller batch lifestyles!

To be in with a chance of winning a copy of the book plus a KitchenAid MINI stand mixer (worth £449) just tell us: what food or flavours do you crave most? Feel free to give examples of the ways you satisfy them e.g. what meals - even the more weird and wonderful ones!

Crave is out on 27 July - buy the book from Amazon for £16.99

*KitchenAid MINI stand mixer colour will be pink

Sometimes I get a real craving for CHIPS! they have to be the way I like them those - fairly soggy and 'blonde' (not hard and crispy) and hot! Oh and smothered in salt and vinegar. Oh God, my mouth's watering just thinking about them...

lindsaysss · 10/08/2017 21:13

I always crave cheese, especially goats cheese

elski2 · 10/08/2017 21:31

Recently I can't stop craving macaroni cheese! Such a comfort food, I love it!

Clawdy · 10/08/2017 21:42

I crave cheese and onion crisps, the stronger flavour the better. Ideally with creamy dips to pop them in.....

Claret89 · 11/08/2017 10:10

I actually get cravings for cheese and it gets really bad sometimes! If there's no cheese in the fridge and I get one of my cravings and I need it there and then I do go a bit crazy haha. Perfect with crackers! I love Christmas time when they bring out all the different cheeses.. I sit there and have a feast lol! Grin

lorrainej162 · 11/08/2017 12:10

Cheese, especially on a toasted sandwich with red onion!

userblahblahwhatever · 11/08/2017 13:46

For some reason I always crave fish!

Just whipped up some mackerel pate. Mackerel fillets, quark, horseradish and salt and pepper. Whizz up in blender.

Taken some to my neighbour too😀😀

JJJWWW · 12/08/2017 23:05

Chocolate...any type!!

cher1977sherri · 13/08/2017 15:06

crackers with mature cheese

dannyelle · 13/08/2017 16:28

Anything sweet and buttery!

PearlyPinkNails · 13/08/2017 16:30

Currently craving warm nachos, covered in melted cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños.

Yuuuuuuum

jollygoose · 13/08/2017 16:35

vinegar I could live on a plate of vinegar and bread and butter to dunk.

Diamondsandpears · 13/08/2017 16:47

Cheese, crusty bread with salty butter, proper pizza, garlic mayonnaise, seafood with garlic butter, toasted marshmallows, perfectly ripe unripe bananas. Freshly picked raspberries. Hmm craving many things.

GeekyWombat · 13/08/2017 16:51

General go to food craving is any kind of cheese.

But the 'I've had a crap day / aunt Irma is visiting / I feel ill' is proper roast potatoes and gravy like my mum makes. I've literally had days where I've come home, par boiled potatoes, cooled them, faffed around with chicken stock to make gravy and eaten a tray full of the things!

foxessocks · 13/08/2017 20:35

chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!

DandelionAndBedrock · 13/08/2017 20:41

Cake is my big weakness, but my crave food would have to be cold marmite pasta Blush. Make a big vat and then keep it in the fridge and nibble away.

hobbska · 13/08/2017 23:11

CHOCOLATE!!! Always chocolate!

Fleurygirl · 14/08/2017 09:06

Mine would also be cheese based, I've often needed to satisfy a hot fried mushroom/black pepper/cream cheese on toast craving.
My mother craves bacon and marmalade on toasted Irish brown bread regularly!
This is an inspired idea for a book, sounds fantastic and the thread is full of delicious ideas

Falconhoof1 · 14/08/2017 09:21

Right now I'm craving a fry up!

RaeraeQ · 14/08/2017 11:54

Crunchy peanut butter on overdone toast with a big cup of coffee

bella165 · 14/08/2017 15:57

Right now I'm craving cheese and onion crisp sandwiches but it has to be on thick white bread with butter

Smellophant87 · 14/08/2017 17:19

I'm currently pregnant so I have many cravings! The current ones are mostly sweet - Baklava, French Toast, Ice Cream etc

Fleur78 · 14/08/2017 20:20

I crave salty foods like anchovies with a pickle, corse black pepper on cream cheese and strong mature cheddar. Ooh salivating yum 👅

SIDNEY65 · 14/08/2017 22:34
