Good morning! Were you one of
the millions, glued to the TV at 8pm last night for the return of The Great
British Bake Off? What is it that makes
this programme such a success? Here’s
our Top Ten Reasons to love TGBBO.
1.
Mary Berry.
A real national treasure and what Mary doesn’t know about baking,
frankly isn’t worth knowing!
2. Who
can fail to withhold a titter every time “soggy bottoms” get a mention!?
3. It’s
so very English! Baking in a marquee, often with the rain battering the canvas
as they film.
4. We
all know that giving those biscuits “just two more minutes” will result in
burnt offerings for Messrs Berry and Hollywood.
5. Who
will be the first contestant to confuse the sugar container with the cooking
salt?
6. Paul
Hollywood. Those blue eyes and twinkly
smile ….. really ladies!
7. It
inspires us to all “have a go”. Sales of
baking products and baking cookbooks rocket when TGBBO is broadcast.
8. The
Technical Bake round. One recipe. A multitude of contestants and many differing
interpretations of a classic. Don’t look
Mary, don’t look …..
9. The
cover-ups. Icing over the burnt bits
will not get you into the next round.
The judges will find out …..!
10.
The drama, the tears, the forgotten timers, the
dough that didn’t rise.
Yes, welcome back to The Great British Bake Off – and roll on next
Tuesday!
