  • The Great British Bake Off

    This type of program has never interested me but a friend suggested I watched it. So I'm now watching on catch up. I was taught the same basics that every chef needs but this program is bringing up "challenges" on things I have never heard of in 46 years and these are amateurs.

    I've tried googling it and I can't find the criteria for the different stages. I have some fantastic recipes. I would really hate to be judged on recipes I've never heard of before.

    They are on baguettes at the moment and we can't compete with the French because we don't have the same type of ovens.

    This link has info about the challenges. It would be good to know the name of every type of bread,cake,biscuit etc. They're always given an unheard of thing to make so it's good to have the knowledge,but funny when nobody knows what they're doing.

      I think that's the point of it, to see who can turn out a good bake just with basic instructions and the necessary ingredients., rather than make something they've practised ad nauseam
      Theoretically everyone has the same chance of producing a perfect bake/getting it all wrong
