Thanks to the BBC, I have been keen to start baking again. If you haven’t seen the show, it’s a contest between several home bakers to produce amazingly high quality cakes, breads, pastries, puddings and pies to win the six week competition. Peppered throughout this reality show are tidbits of history around the food for the week.
Contestents bring their own recipes with them, but are also judged in a technical round, where everyone is given the same recipes and left on their own to figure out the method.
The show is surprisingly tense! There is no room for error, and the judges are incredibly strict.
Have you seen it? If not, you should watch it! We’re already down to the last two episodes, so quick, get in there!
