We cross back over the pond in title only and return to “The Tent” for more Great American Baking-Show fun. This time we are joined by a new host and a batch of new celebrity bakers ready to take on the challenges set forth by Dame Prue Leith and Baker extraordinaire Paul Hollywood. Fun fact we podcasted a good 20-25 minutes before realizing we were not recording but we still think it turned out wonderfully. Join us by the fire with a nice mug of cocoa or cup of eggnog and enjoy some more...

So basically, British Dessert ain’t the same as Dessert elsewhere which you will, assuming you aren’t British, learn from our time in the tent this week. It’s Dessert Week and it is certainly delightful. At this point, the it’s pretty much the absolute best of the bakers remaining in the tent meaning they should be absolutely crushing all challenges placed before them, right? Right? Wrong! It is a wild ride this week along with a scrumptious serving of Baker’s Make the World Go Round for you...

We’re back and we are pumped. A new series of Bake-Off is lightweight Christmas round these parts and boy howdy did Saturn come through. 12 new bakers enter the tent along with a brand-new host.

And in a snap, the far too brief first series of The Great American Baking Show on The Roku Channel has concluded. It really was the best iteration of the multiple attempts at creating an “American” take on The Great British Bake-Off and was a delight to review and recap. We wrap this series of the show, and our show with Fancy Snack Cakes, an Afternoon Tea, and an amazing Pièce Montée, of which you will get a decent explanation about during the show. You of course get a couple of what we...

Already at the Semi-Finals, sigh, I will miss some of these bakers. It’s Episode 5 of both the show and our recap of The Great American Baking Show on The Roku Channel. We get gorgeous Mille Crêpe Cakes, a Key Lime Chiffon Cake, and showstopper that was, well, it certainly was something. And of course we have a few stories to share in our news segment, Bakers Make the World go Round. Thanks for hanging out with us again this week. See you next time for The Final.

Ahhhh Pastry Week, where the weak are separated from the strong. This was one of the best episodes of this truncated season. They have hit their stride and I truly hope people are watching it because it is really that good. From scratch made pop-tarts, to churros, to pies it was a fantastic week in the tent. Oh, and we also have a couple of delightful stories for Bakers Make the World go Round and a bit of listener feedback. We’ll see you next week for the Semi-Finals. Team KP   Signature-...

We told y’all we would return for more and here we are. It’s The Great American Baking Show, proof that the term Bake-Off needs too be freed from the clutches of Pillsbury. This season and the next of GABS is on the Roku Channel which is free to watch on any Roku Device, Mobile or PC so feel free to get in on the good times with us. All the episodes are up but we are watching and recapping week to week so please, keep any spoilers to yourself. For this first on Roku go round there are 6...

We’ve arrived at the Finale! Our remaining chefs Daniel, Danielle, and J are asked to create multiple courses meant to explain why they feel they deserve to win The Big Brunch and what they would do with the money to help with these goals. This ep had us asking about multiple sauces so we figured we better look into it and of course provide you with some info regarding these. So now we all know what Ponzu Sauce, Tamari Sauce, and XO Sauce are. This was not only a great episode, but a super...

It’s the Semi-Finals and that means it’s time to switch it up. This week, we begin making food to feed a family as opposed to just three judges. And our main is also in the familial vein with the chef’s being expected to create a full family sized meal. If no one went home last week, years of cookery show watching has proven that two will have to leave this week and that is certainly what occurred. We also take a look at what it means to be who you are in relation to food and culture. As...

Y’all, this episode was so frustrating to watch. Like, it was a lot of yelling at the TV in disappointment at what our beloved chefs were doing. It was also, a super fun episode that kind of had us questioning the judges by the end. The team had company over this week and the chefs wanted to show out for him but that wasn’t the brief. How do they make up for embarrassing the parents when guests are visiting? Should anyone refer to something they make as “famous”? What should we be calling...

This was the Ep that made Nic say, we should recap this show and once you watch it, I think you will see why. Honestly, The Big Brunch hit its stride this week. Most of the chefs absolutely crushed and it was very cool to witness. This week’s Brunch theme is Fine Dining and it was such a fun twist on one’s idea of what brunch can be. Tip your wait staff on your way out and enjoy. Baker’s Make The World Go Round Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l TAYREL713 l Stay’s Krunchy in Milk I...

As the chefs are slowly but surely winnowed away the best of the bunch begins to rise to the top. This was a baking week, meaning one chef had an advantage, did they take advantage and show out on their home court? Or, were the The LA Rams of baking, yes that is two sports in a single metaphor, let's move past it. Carbo Loading Week means it’s time to put some bread and spread on the table and it shows your chops. Was the right chef sent home? Was this week’s “Best in Brunch” truly the best?...

Back on set once again and this time we backed a truck up full of produce. Wildly colored carrots, beets, citrus and something called a loquat. Get on in here and sample our wares. This week, these chefs were on it. Beautifully seasoned dishes plated in ways that made the food damn near art which means we had a great time discussing the show’s output this week. We know you will enjoy the show, and we will see you again next week. Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you. Nicju l What’s...

We are back with some more Big Brunch fun. This week’s theme, Hangover Cures. From Blood Mary’s to Chicken and Waffles are returning chefs put in that work and we judge it from the safety of our microphones. In this week’s Baker’s Make The World Go Round, some mark ass trick and trick ass marks speak ill of retiring Bake-Off Presenter Matt Lucas and we simply had to interject. Ohh, can we all agree, pot liquor, if served at all, should not be chilled? Let’s raise our Singapore Slings and Egg...
