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

I seem to crave salt, eg salted peanuts or cashews. I do not have a sweet tooth but could eat savoury all day long. Eg phono us, crunchy veggies, Pringles etc.

Onions. Fried in butter until perfectly caramelised, roasted whole until dark brown, turned into cream of onion soup or French onion soup, dipped in a light batter to make onion rings, or lightly spiced to make delicious onion bhajis (Hairy Bikers recipe) - just about any way as long as they are not raw. I love onions and crave them much of the time.

FuzzyTwiglet · 28/08/2017 21:23

Chocolate. Always.

Also had a craving today for trifle after watching re-runs of the GBBO.

Elizasmum02 · 28/08/2017 21:50

anything with caramel in is my weakness!

nsinc09 · 28/08/2017 22:14

cheese and jam sandwiches!

KTD1230 · 28/08/2017 22:46

I used to crave savoury stuff like crisps and nuts. However, when I was pregnant last year I developed a sweet tooth and craved fruit pastilles and greggs doughnuts!! I had my baby girl in Jan and still get sweet cravings now. I'm opening my own baking business next month and would love this lovely new mixer. Also cant wait to get myself a copy of marthas book. I make a mean chocolate drip cake, but would love to have a go at marthas version.

lolarose293 · 28/08/2017 23:50

Anything with cheese !! I make homemade pizzas, cheese on toast, cheese on crackers and macaroni cheese!

Bsummers · 29/08/2017 01:57

Chocolate. I can't get enough of it, even on a diet I need my chocolate fix and when it comes to baked chocolate goods, Soft freshly baked chocolate chip cookies are the food I crave the most!

hayleyrob01 · 29/08/2017 15:50

cheese with crusty bread

HeyMacWey · 29/08/2017 15:52

A flinty mature Cheddar on crackers.
Washed down with a vodka and lemonade :o

s4ff · 29/08/2017 17:11

Nachos with sour cream & tomato salsa smothered all over!!! And throw a few jalapeños on top for a juicy spicy kick 😏
That's for savoury cravings...

Sweet cravings...fig rolls or fresh dates...especially the ones that are sticky & gooey like soft chewy caramel mmmmm 🤤

Cat1980uk · 31/08/2017 21:08

I always crave sweets! Chocolate is good, love a biscuit, enjoy cake, but nothing hits the spot like a seeetie! 😀

Chickenjunkie · 01/09/2017 23:43

If I fancy something sweet I crave cake and chocolate, especially when I'm on a diet!

Savoury cravings include cheese and butter - really thickly spread butter!

Any kind of cheesecake. I could eat it anytime.
