Catching up with last week’s episodes: Congratulations, Nadiya!

The Great British Bake Off is over, another winner crowned, and I learned something that has nothing to do with baking technique: much like MasterChef in Australia, TGBBO absolutely kills in ratings in the UK.

Last week’s final featured Ian, Tamal and Nadiya battling it out for the much sought-after title of Winner, and it was as satisfying as the ones before it. Too bad we don’t get to actually taste the delicious desserts!

The Great British Bake Off truly is great

I’m an avid cooking show viewer. I watch whatever I can get my hands on, especially when it comes to baking and pastry. Anyone who knows me will attest to my neverending devotion to the genius that is Alton Brown, not to mention my immense admiration for the folks over at MasterChef Australia, but for pastry-specific competition shows, nothing beats the Great British Bake Off.
