When they first made filo pastry on the bake off as a technical, I had a go and I remembered saying next time I would buy the pastry as it was so time consuming! But it wouldn’t be a proper technical challenge if I bought it and I had two very keen helpers this week, so we spent Sunday making a lot of mess attempting this one, click here to keep reading.

Caramel week is always one of our favourite weeks on the GBBO and this year was no exception. Rich was very pleased that the technical bake was Tarte Tatin, one of his favourites and something I have never made. Click here to see how I got on.

Bread week this year was amazing, so many interesting bakes and some brilliant bread making skills! I wanted to try all the challenges but just haven’t had the time, so decided to stick to doing the technical, which was perfect to eat over the weekend for lunch with some soup!

Woo hoo, GBBO is back! I’m not sure if I was more excited or if the girls were. Over the summer they sneaked down one night after bedtime and saw Rich and I watching the Bake Off the Professionals, not surprisingly they loved it and started watching it, they then discovered there’s a junior GBBO too. They can’t get enough of it all! We are all looking forward to the new series and trying plenty of new recipes again. So here’s our first technical challenge.
