The Great British Bake Off 2011

The Great British Bake Off 2011 grand final tonight on BBC 2.

And the winner is......

I am not going to spoil it for those who have not watched the final episode yet, or for those who plan to start watching the show.

This show is about amateur bakers taking up the challenge and learning new skills and ideas along the way.

A very high standard competition.

I was very amazed by the ideas that contestants came up with at the 'Signature bake' challenge; the very difficult 'technical challenge' that they managed to accomplish within a short period of time; and of course, the beautiful and wonderful 'Showstopper' they put up at the end of each episode!

Each and every episode was breath-takingly good and makes one want to savour all those lovely cakes, pastries, tarts etc.

A highly entertaining (especially for those who love to bake, or love desserts!) and very educating show.


I even bought the official book just because it is such a good read. Maybe I will be brave and take the challenge to bake some of the more simple recipe!

I came across this book while browsing various blogs and food sites. Read some reviews. Then bought the book - The flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit.

A very interesting book pairing flavours beyond imagination and providing ideas for creative cooking.

A very enjoyable read!
