You know, I thought this was a pretty damn good season of Great British Baking Show. Unlike last season, when I pulled up into the final column not entirely sure why I was still watching, save for blind loyalty, I legitimately enjoyed watching the show again. This season was fun! Yes, some of the judges' … Continue reading GBBS 2021 – The Final

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Patisserie Week
I have made it a point to avoid fawning over the show in this space. I watch GBBS because I enjoy it, and I write about it because I enjoy it, but I don't enjoy anything uncritically. I think reading fanboy love letters to various entertainment items is a complete waste of time, and therefore … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Patisserie Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Free From Week
Hoo boy! In an inevitably vainglorious attempt to untangle this week's massive and massively complicated judging controversy, where shall I even begin? As I see it, the problem with unpacking this controversy is the same as the problem that caused the controversy in the first place.

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Caramel Week
I've made no secret of the fact that, if I were to compete on the Great British Baking Show, I would get absolutely waxed. My chances of escaping Cake Week would be slim to none; my chances of making it more than halfway through the season would be functionally non-existent. It's not that I'm a … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Caramel Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Pastry Week
Finally, Pastry Week! It continues to baffle me that the first three weeks of each and every recent GBBS season have invariably been given over to cakes, biscuits, and bread, and invariably in that order, while pastry is saved for some mid-to-late week, invariably after the first stupid theme week of the season. Are you … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Pastry Week
