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 usually crave chocolate

ChocolateCake1 · 03/08/2017 11:03

It's so hard to choose from fresh oven baked bread with lots of butter or a generous piece of cake!

EmilyK83 · 03/08/2017 11:07

Macaroni cheese!! I'm totally obsessed with it! Whenever I make it, I like to try and do a new twist on it...in the past I've added things (not together) like bacon, leeks, blue cheese, 5 different cheeses, truffle oil...I like to mix things up!

tia3456 · 03/08/2017 11:22

Mine is yogurt, especially the corner ones, literally have to stop myself from buying too many as I will eat them all

mgmazz · 03/08/2017 11:46

Chocolate!

RedPandaMama · 03/08/2017 11:49

Guylian chocolates. I would do ANYTHING for those - LIDL do a good version for £2.19 a box which is proving lethal as I'm 40 weeks pregnant and we just moved... right next door to a LIDL.

chocolate

wjanice121 · 03/08/2017 11:51

I always crave flapjacks. A bit random i know, but I love them.

Funkyferret · 03/08/2017 11:56

Cheese, cheese, cheese - but I do keep an eye on how much of it I eat. So sometimes, instead of great big chunks, I'll just grate a little parmesan on a salad or sweet potato wedges.

cnut · 03/08/2017 12:12

My craving and downfall is crisps, I always fail with a crisp lol !

shumway · 03/08/2017 12:14

Danish pastries.

footdust · 03/08/2017 12:14

Always Cheese & Onion crisps

sarokaal · 03/08/2017 12:16

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!

MOIST · 03/08/2017 12:18

Cheese. Cheese with everything. Any time of the day or night. I love cheese.

stefalfie11 · 03/08/2017 12:28

Anything sweet, I have a really bad sweet tooth and can't resist anything with salted caramel on it!

saramacg · 03/08/2017 12:29

I think chocolate is what I crave the most, it's hard to resist!

ThemisA · 03/08/2017 12:38

I secretly love biscuits but generally don't buy or eat them because I would eat too many and I am now middle aged and gain weight very easily.

c00k1e · 03/08/2017 12:41

My main craving is a nice juicy burger with jalapeños and ketchup. Grin

riverwell · 03/08/2017 12:55

Wholemeal bread with unsalted butter Hmm

baby890 · 03/08/2017 13:01

Depends on my mood, sometimes chocolate, but most of the time its crisps that I crave!

OliviaTheFox · 03/08/2017 13:15

Chocolate milkshake at the moment
And often cheese and onion crisps
Yum.

CopperPan · 03/08/2017 13:21

Melted cheese on anything - chips, toast, veg, pasta.

WinifredAtwellsOtherPiano · 03/08/2017 13:22

Pork scratchings.

When I go to a restaurant there are "dog whistle words" on a menu which mean I just stop reading and say "that one!".

Any menu that mentions smoked aubergine, sesame seeds/oil, kimchi, wilted spinach, salted caramel, hazelnuts or aioli will get my custom.

feefeegabor · 03/08/2017 13:23

Usually it's chocolate but sometimes and quite inexplicably, it's grapefruit

BubbleFrog · 03/08/2017 13:29

Anything salt and sweet- salt and sweet popcorn, maple syrup and bacon, salted dark chocolate, soy and honey. The list goes on!
