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...

Well, here we are, one last time. It’s the Finals for Series 13 of The Great British Bake-Off and well, it was just a… You know what, give the ep a listen to get our breakdown and feelings about not only the final, but this entire series/season and what’s up next for your hosts. Oh, okay, a little bit of a spoiler for the liner notes readers, you get not one but two Baker’s Make The World Go Round articles this week. Thanks to all who have joined us this series, it has been just a delight to...

For a Semi-Final, this episode was pretty lackluster, and not just because NicJu wasn’t able to join us this week You get Ant and Tee discussing Patisserie Week and the sometimes, seemingly harsh judgment of one of the bakers. Of course, we have to hit you with a Bakers Make The World Go Round. How excited are you for the final? Signature- 6 Mini Charlottes Technical- 4 Chocolate Hazelnut & Raspberry Vertical Tarts Showstopper- Swedish Krokan Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l...

What a disappointing week on multiple levels. The Quarterfinals are now and all the bakers had a pretty poor go in the tent this week. And sadly, in the end, a show favorite was shown the door.  However, this week’s Bakers Make The World Go Round is an interesting read but you also need this IG postfor context. Next week, The Semi Finals, Patisserie Week, Signature- 12 Sweet Vol-Au-Vents Technical- 8 Spring Rolls and Dipping Sauce Showstopper- 3D Pie Scene Nicju l What’s The Tea l...

As the engine keep rolling toward its terminus, Bake Off keeps getting better and this week was no different. A signature where nearly everyone did really well. A super fun technical, and a showstopper where Star Baker was certainly decided means we had one heck of a week in the tent. But not everyone agrees with the crew, including the author of this week’s Bakers Make The World Go Round article’ Once again, thank you for joining us in the tent, and will see you next time.   Next week,...

Week 6 and for the first time ever, we are getting spooky with it. The first ever Halloween Week was a delightful return to form and everything that makes GBBO such a delight. A fierce week of competition and the strongest Star Baker performance maybe ever (like for real). We also discovered that the Brits don’t fully grasp what s’mores should be like, a subject addressed in this week’s Bakers Make The World Go Round. As always, thanks for joining us in the tent. It’s getting a little crowded...

It’s Week 5 in the tent, meaning we are now halfway through. This week’s “Bakers Make the World Go Round” segment proves more infuriating than insightful. However, this week was a return to form and everything we love about GBBO. The person who needed to go home was indeed sent packing, and this week’s Star Baker really earned the title this week. As always, we hope you enjoyed our visit to the tent and that you would be kind enough to leave us a rating on Spotify, a review on Apple podcast,...

Week 4 in the Tent was a rough one. Maybe because we are a bunch of left leaning elitist, but boy did this week seem a bit, well a bit racist to be honest with you. Tee even found an article about it that is this week’s “Bakers Make the World Go Round” segment.  But we talked it through, made some jokes and recapped the episode as we always do. We had our full compliment of bakers this week which was a good thing. But we also had the possibility of losing two bakers this go round as opposed...

Our third week in the tent was a little bit of everything. Two bakers were out this week (for an undisclosed but come on you know what it is illness) meaning the crown jewel of every season of Bake-Off was kind of lacking as Bread Week’s go. However, it was still just a riot. Just a whole lot of fun and funnies to be had. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode, and we will see you next week for Mexican Week, hopefully with a full compliment of bakers back in the tent. Signature- 2 Sharing...

Week two in the tent and it’s time to make the biscuits. This week was an absolute banger and everything we love about Bake-Off. Signature and Showstopper were of course of particular note this week but this week’s Technical has a lesson about the complexities of the English language. Remember if you are listening on Spotify there is a poll for you to participate in. We’ll speak again next week for Bread Week. Signature-18 Decorative Macarons Technical- 12 Garibaldi Biscuits aka Squashed...

Well, would you look at that, we’re back for another season. This time however, we have grown up and left our father’s house (in this case Stays Krunchy in Milk) and are our own, independent podcast (or Podkast as it were) So, we tweaked the name, but everything else is the same. It’s Nicjuof What’s The Tea? Podcast and Ant and Tee of Stay’s Krunchy in Milk discuss the latest episode of Channel 4’s(if you’re across the pond) Great British Bake-Off and Netflix’severywhere else, The Great...

Well, here we are for the last time, at least for this series of this show. It's the Finals of GBBO. Our finalist are Chigs, Crystelle and Giuseppe and crown a winner amongst the greatest class bakers in Bake-Off history. We hope you enjoyed this series, we will be back in the new year with something else so keep an eye out.

It's the Semi-Finals and as in all matters sport, this is when players step up. This was hands down, one of the best episodes in the history of this program. It was a master class in baking and a delight to witness. Until it wasn't. Signature – 8 Patisserie Styled Layered Slices 3 Hours Prep Technical-Assigned by Pru Sable Briton Tarte 2 hours 45 minutes of prep.

The playoffs have begun and this is when it gets really real in the tent. With so few bakers remaining you get more time with each of them and often learn more about them. It was a really great episode to both watch and record. Signature – 8 Dairy Free Ice Cream Sandwiches 3 Hours Prep Time Technical-Assigned by Pru 8 identical vegan sausage rolls Vegan Rough Puff Pastry, mushroom and walnut filling, and a caramelized red onion chutney 2 hours prep Showstopper- Gluten Free Celebration Cake...

We're back in the tent for Caramel Week. Hoooo buddy was this an episode! It was as if none of the bakers got it all the way together until the end. Signature – Sharing Size Caramel Tart Technical-Assigned by Paul 10 Caramel Biscuits Bars 90 minutes to do it, basically Scratch made Twix Showstopper- Caramel Flavored Dessert with a Dome or Sphere 4.5 Hours Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l TAYREL713 l Stay’s Krunchy in Milk

We have arrived at Episode 6 of Series 12 Pastry Week. Honestly it was one of the finest and most fun episodes of the entire show. Join in on the fun as NicJu, Ant, and Tee discuss this brilliant episode. Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l TAYREL713 l Stay’s Krunchy in Milk

Dessert Week has arrived and this week was a so good. Surprises abound and the person who needed to leave was indeed shown their way out of the tent. The Signature this week was a Pavlova. The Technical OG British classic Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Showstopper a Collared Jaconde Imprime. Seriously this was a great ep to watch and just as much fun to discuss. GO watch it then come back and give us a listen. Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l TAYREL713 l Stay’s Krunchy in Milk

One would not think bread would be out here just bodying bakers but this week in the tent, one would be very wrong. It’s bread week in the GBBO tent and that makes for a lot of errors by our remaining bakers. How bad do the English butcher the words Focaccia and Ciabatta? Give the ep a listen and find out. We had a little static late in the episode, our apologies for the sound quality not being up to snuff. Please don’t kick us out of the podcast tent. Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l...

It’s Biscuit Week in the Tent and for nearly all the bakers it was a mix. Either one judge loved it and the other did not for the signature. In the technical, some of the bakers came up short. The showstopper, well, you should probably just listen. We are joined this week by NicJu of What’s The Tea to help us judge the judgers and just have a great time talking GBBO.

We get introduced to the latest 12 Bakers vying for the title of Britain's best baker. Nicju l What’s The Tea l Tatum216 l TAYREL713 l Stay’s Krunchy in Milk

It's German Week on GBBO, a heretofore undone challenge. Everyone thinks Jürgen will show out, but is that the case? The Signature this week are German Biscuits. The Technical Challenge is a Prinzregententorte or a Prince Regent Torte. The Showstopper is a Spectacular Yeast Leavened Cake. Who will be Star Baker? Who is Going Home? Give us a listen and see!
