Seven bakers, three different types of pastry and a test of design and engineering skills. I love pastry week, it’s my favourite. Life is undoubtedly better wrapped in flaky, buttery pastry, right?…
Ten bakers, three challenges and one judge who knows *everything* about bread. I love bread week as it is [in my opinion] one of the most technical of baking disciplines...
Dunk yourself happy - it’s Biscuit Week! Leighton had it all to play for this week after serving up a Cake Week showstopper that was on the wonk with a sponge that was described by Prue as ‘very tough’. Not a good look. Iain gained the title of Comeback King in Cake Week after salvaging what pretty much everyone thought…
Squeeeeeeee! It’s back again for 2025! Now in its sixteenth series I’m every inch as excited about it as I was all those years ago when Edd Kimber won the very first series.

It's back. Tonight. And I couldn't be more excited. The Great British Bake Off. Series 14. Week One. Bring on the cakes!...
It probably won't surprise you to learn that I am a huge Great British Bake Off (GBBO) fan. I have watched every single series (there have been thirteen so far) and I have many a fond memory from each of them. Here's my potted history of GBBO...
