The Fabulous Baker Brothers

19 January 2012

TX: Wednesdays from 4th January, 8:30pm, Channel 4

Viewers can beat the January gloom by immersing themselves in a delicious world of flour, fire and forearms with brand new series The Fabulous Baker Brothers. It stars bothers Tom, a baker, and Henry, a chef who runs the local butcher's shop - which is next door to his brother's bakery, in the heart of Gloucestershire.

With five generations of baking tradition behind them, Tom and Henry take viewers into the heat of the artisan kitchen and unlock the trade secrets of baking, which have been honed through years of practice and passion. And there won't be a cupcake in sight.

Based around the oven, the series is packed with hearty recipes and interesting twists on baking classics. In each episode, the boys roll up their sleeves, get out the flour and take viewers through their delicious recipes. But it's not just about bread and pastry: each dish will have hearty fillings, tempting toppings and tasty accompaniments that bring in stacks of delicious flavours. In each episode Tom and Henry also go head to head in a pie-making competition, with each of them coming up with their own version of a themed pie to serve to a group of hungry judges.
