The GBBO judges are the losers here

The Great British Baking Show Favorite Flavors by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, 2022 bakers

by Leave a Comment

So the Great British Bake Off aka Great British Baking Show books have been kind of hit or miss; more miss lately, but thankfully, in spite of some unfortunate decisions during the actual series, the book is back to what it should be: cool bakes that are actually achievable and useful to an average home baker. The Great British Baking Show: Favorite Flavors has a lot of things I think I both can and actually want to try. Before I get into the good stuff, […]

Baking through the UK Seasons

A Bake for All Seasons by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, the 2021 Bakers

by 2 Comments

I confess to being a little disappointed in the 2020 Great British Baking Show/Bake Off cookbook; it was pretty and had recipes from the bakers and judges, but very little that wasn’t show stopper-y, as in it would take all day at least and only in large quantity, and not keep well. I am happy to report that the 2021 installment, A Bake for All Seasons looks much more promising. As the title might suggest, this one is organized based on the principle of seasonality […]

I do love to bake but with this book I’m not so sure

The Great British Baking Show released the annual cookbook to accompany the most recent season on Dec. 22; I pre-ordered. Due some unforeseen delays, I only just got the book a few days ago. The problem I have is that I only just started working my way through Pieometry; I’m a good ways through my Paul Hollywood book (How to Bake), but there’s still a lot to get through with […]

A problem of too much cake and spoilers

The Big Book of Amazing Cakes by The Baking Show Team

I am a little bit glad that Netflix now runs the most current Great British Baking Show because I don’t have to worry as much about spoilers and cookbooks. A few seasons/years ago, I had to be out of town for about two weeks in the middle of when a season was airing, ended up in a bookstore in London, and found out that Nadiya had won the season because she had a new cookbook out on display. This past season I also got spoiler-ed […]
