The Great British Bake Off, which airs on Netflix in the U.S., crowned its latest winner on Wednesday’s (November 29) Season 14 finale, with underdog Matty Egell taking home the trophy. Edgell entered the competition as a self-described “underdog,” believing he “wasn’t good enough” to battle the much more experienced bakers. At one point, he didn’t even think he had what it took to apply for the show but eventually signed up after encouragement from his fiancée. Edgell entered the latest series with the skills learned from his grandmother while growing up with a point to prove. Across the ten weeks, Edgell and his fellow contestants baked everything from vertical layer cake, illusion biscuits, cottage loaves, cheesecake, mini picnic pies, spiced buns, treacle sponge, sausage rolls, and tarte aux pommes. Channel 4/YouTube Edgell impressed judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith over the course of the 30 Challenges, earning...

The latest season of The Great British Baking Show — officially the 14th, though on Netflix it's marked as "Collection 11" — has been a rebound from the last few underwhelming installments. A big part of that has been the shakeup in hosts, with actress and TV host Alison Hammond joining a returning Noel Fielding. Hammond's fresh enthusiasm and easy rapport with the bakers has been a welcome change from the aloof stylings of Matt Lucas, on whom many of the show's fans had loudly soured by last year.
With Matt gone, though, we're free to have the conversation we've been putting off for several years now: Has judge Prue Leith outlived her usefulness on this show? Is she the next weak link in the chain who needs to be replaced?...

Paul Hollywood usually plays things cool when judging the baking skills of the contestants on The Great British Baking Show, but a super sour dessert on the most recent episode almost knocked him off his feet. As part of “Pastry Week,” amateur baker Dana Conway served up a mulled wine apple pie for the Showstopper challenge, and it certainly looked tasty. However, Hollywood was unable to hide his reaction, as the sourness caused him to contort his face, pucker his lips, and break into some sort of jazz-hands dance. “Too sour?” Conway asked, letting out a small giggle as Hollywood continued to suffer through the acidic-tasting dessert. “It hits you right there,” he said, putting his hands up to both sides of his throat. Fellow judge Prue Leith‘s reaction was nowhere near as dramatic as Hollywood’s, but she did note of the pie that, “I think it is,...

After a somewhat disastrous series of The Great British Bake Off last year, with too-tough tasks and a distinct lack of actual baking, we’re going into the new series with our hopes rising like a fresh-out-of-the-oven bread lion.

But just as promising is the new presenting line-up: after Matt Lucas chose to leave the show last year, Noel Fielding will now be joined by the wonderful Alison Hammond.

The Great British Bake Off is scrapping its historically underbaked country-themed challenges in its upcoming season.
Last season, the series (known Stateside as The Great British Baking Show) was met with criticism for its ham-handed approach to Mexican cuisine. The episode’s challenges failed to celebrate Mexican culture and instead, perpetuated outdated stereotypes. Not to mention the taco-making challenge — tacos aren’t even baked!

‘Great British Bake Off’ Scraps National-Themed Weeks For New Series After Fans Slam “Casual Racism”
The Great British Bake Off will scrap its national-themed challenge weeks in the new series after viewers slammed these rounds in recent years.
The hit baking show will return later this month for its 13th series, but will be missing the country-themed challenges, which received a backlash for casual racism.
In 2020, the show had a ‘Japan Week’, then a ‘German Week’ the following year, and a ‘Mexican Week’ last year.
Besides the dishes from each country which weren’t sufficiently authentic, Mexican Week saw hosts Noel Fieling and Matt Lucas don sombreros, use maracas and speak in Spanish accents.
Executive producer Kieran Smith told The Guardian newspaper: “We didn’t want to offend anyone but the world has changed and the joke fell flat.
“We’re not doing any national themes this year.”
Instead, Smith said, the show would return to its popular traditional roots. “We’re doing all the regular weeks: Cakes,...

Sarah Raven has released a seven-episode miniseries of her chart-topping gardening podcast grow, cook, eat, arrange, providing specific advice for novice gardeners looking to create their own kitchen garden at home.
The series of 10-minute-long episodes will talk listeners through the process of curating a kitchen garden, with Sarah explaining where to begin, her must-have vegetables, salad, and herbs, and how to deter pests.
Commenting on the podcast miniseries launch, Sarah said: “We all dream of having freshly picked herbs and home-grown vegetables to cook with at dinnertime, but I know that having a kitchen garden feels unachievable for some.

"The Great British Baking Show" appears to be cooking up something special for the show's fans. On July 1, just one week after Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively visited the show's iconic white tent, Hugh Jackman slipped a sneaky picture of the show's set into a random photo dump. The "Logan" actor doesn't appear in the photo, but there's no mistaking the inside of the tent. Popsugar reached out to the show's British home, Channel 4, in regards to Jackman's photo, but did not receive an immediate response.
Jackman's photo from the show's set is the third slide in an otherwise random post, which also includes two wildlife photos and a snap of the actor in a hat and sunglasses. He captioned the carousel, "The week that was." Interestingly, both "The Great British Baking Show" judge Paul Hollywood and Reynolds liked Jackman's post.

Hollywood superstar and soccer club savior Ryan Reynolds has been spending plenty of time in the UK of late and today he was snapped with Great British Bake Off hosts Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, leading to fevered speculation that he will appear in the celeb version of the Channel 4 hit.
The Deadpool star and owner of just-promoted Wrexham AFC posted a picture on Twitter of his getting up close to the British hosts, with the caption “Full and unconditional hug of pure serotonin.”
The post has of course led to speculation that Reynolds will take part in the celeb version of Channel 4’s most-watched show, which will film over the summer and likely air early next year. The civilian version will be released in the weeks prior and has been Channel 4’s most-watched show since it was picked up from the BBC in 2017.

Roku is the new home of this contest of confections — America’s answer to the hugely popular Great British Baking Show. This iteration, hosted by comedians Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Zach Cherry (Severance), will feature fan-favorite judges from the British series: restaurateur Prue Leith and celebrity chef Paul Hollywood. What convinced Leith to be part of the American competition? “I think I was jealous of Paul doing it!” she jokes. (Hollywood also judged The Great American Baking Show when it was on ABC.) So what will fans see when they tune in? “If they have watched The Great British Baking Show, they will know what to expect,” Leith notes, describing the competition as “an encouraging, kind show where the contestants like each other!” If contestants want to win, they should take note of Leith’s favorite desserts: “Lemon polenta cake in the morning, pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tart) in the afternoon.

Don Lemon has strongly denied recent accusations lodged against him, which included claims of workplace misogyny and “diva-like behaviour”.
In a new damning report from Variety, several sources alleged he had disrespected CNN co-hosts Nancy Grace on air and broadcaster Soledad O’Brien during an editorial meeting, among other things.
According to fellow colleagues, Lemon mocked Grace by mimicking her on air.
While Grace declined the outlet’s request for comment, a person close to her confirmed “she thinks he’s an ass” and that he was generally “rude, dismissive and really unfamiliar with the [news] content being discussed”.
Other witnesses spoke about a time he had allegedly argued O’Brien wasn’t Black in an editorial meeting attended by around 30 additional staffers.

“I just wanted to better myself and get out of a situation that was unfortunate. I had grown up on 15 council estates.”
He continued: “I set out to change and give my family the security and everything that I had wished for at their age. I never expected that level of success, like any success it's worked for.”
The 56-year-old explained that while he was becoming more successful, his brother’s addiction issues were escalating.

Paul Hollywood was unable to stomach Lucy Beaumont’s “bizarre” showstopper on The Great Celebrity Bake Off.
The comedian was one of the contestants on the Stand Up To Cancer charity edition of Bake Off on Sunday (2 April), where she appeared alongside Tom Daley, Adele Roberts and David Morissey.
In the final round, Beaumont presented the judges with a showstopper inspired by a carvery Sunday lunch.
“If we asked you for your worst nightmare, then I’d think you’d win,” Prue Leith joked, as Beaumont asked them not to judge her final task.
Hollywood took a bite, but immediately spat the cake back out, telling her: “I wouldn’t say it’s inedible, but it’s on the way. I’ve never had a cake like it. It’s bizarre.”

Despite the popularity of The Great British Bake Off, its most recent season was panned by fans and critics alike. The thirteenth season, which aired in the fall of 2022, was criticized for difficult challenges and questionable choices, such as a Mexican-themed week complete with sombreros.
The Great British Bake Off executive producer Richard McKerrow reflected on season 13 in a February 2023 interview on The Media Podcast.

Paul Hollywood branded Gemma Collins’ attempt at a showstopper on The Great Celebrity Bake Off“appalling”.
The Only Way is Essex star was one of the contestants on the Stand Up To Cancer charity edition of Bake Off on Sunday (26 March), where she appeared alongside Jessica Hynes, Tim Key and Aj Odudu.
In the showstopper round, the competitors were asked to recreate the earliest childhood experience they can remember in a choux pastry form, with Collins opting to encapsulate her memory of her mum buying a pair of fluffy mules for her from Woolworths.
Beginning the challenge, the reality star said that she was “putting a lot of effort” into her sculpture, adding: “I’m getting that apron if it kills me.”
After piping “that fluffy mule that changed my life and got me into showbiz”, however, the pastry emerged from the oven flat, while the pistachio and rose ganache was overly wet.

The Great British Bake Off is gearing up for its 14th season. The beloved British baking show drew criticism for some of the challenges of the previous season as well as the seemingly heightened difficulty. To help bring the show back to basics, they’ll reportedly be “scaling back” the production.

Season 13 of The Great British Bake Off (referred to as The Great British Baking Show in the US) aired in 2022. Many of the challenges on the season were found by fans to be overly complicated, and the judging of the contestants’ work was perceived as harsh. There was also a notable backlash over a Mexican-themed episode as it was deemed culturally insensitive, with faux pas including hosts Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding wearing sombreros.
