Q&A with Tom Davis

Can you bake? No. I’m not brilliant at baking. I don’t think I’m that bad a cook, but I wouldn’t put myself in the realms of a baker. Describe your baking style in one word. Bodge-it. What’s your favourite baked good? I’d probably have to go for a pastry. You talk about food a lot in your podcast

Q&A with Rose Matafeo

Can you bake? Yes, I can. I am capable of baking. What kind of things to you bake? I usually make things like coconut buns, which is a Samoan thing, like a Polynesian sweet bread bun with coconut sauce at the bottom of it. I make good biscuits, I make good slices – I didn’t really get into bread, I

Q&A with Jesy Nelson

Can you bake? Absolutely not! In capital letters! Describe your baking style in one word. Catastrophic. What’s your favourite baked good? Ooh. For savoury, I just love a bit of bread. Sweet would be some kind of brownie. Anything chocolate, basically. Do you cook much in everyday life? No, also

Q&A with Jessica Hynes

Can you bake? Yean, I can bake, but I’ve got the mentality of a novice, because I started very late. I only started baking in my 30s, so in my mind I’m always learning, and there’s a lot of things that I don’t know how to bake and I haven’t tried to bake. I’m always ready to have a go, if I have

Q&A with Tim Key

Can you bake? I thought I could. But that’s one of the first things you find out when you get into that tent. I found out several times that no, I can’t bake. Describe your baking style in one word. Limited. What’s your favourite baked good? Are flapjacks baked? I just had one with toffee on from

Q&A with David Morrissey

Can you bake? I can cook but I don’t really bake, cakes and pies are not my thing. Describe your baking style in one word. Haphazard. What’s your favourite baked good? I’ve always been partial to a pork pie. Do you cook much in everyday life? No, as I say I cook all the time, but baking is not

Q&A with Lucy Beaumont

Can you bake? I have baked, I have involved myself in the baking process, but no one has wanted to eat said baked goods. I made rock buns and my mum gave me bicarb of soda instead of baking soda and my grandad tried one and frothed at the mouth we though he was having a fit. Describe your baking

Q&A with Joe Thomas

Can you bake? A little bit. I do like cooking, and I cook a lot for pleasure, but I don’t tend to do sweet things. I know my way around a kitchen. But this is the first time I’ve done much baking. I had a little bit of a practice. If it had been savoury, I would have backed myself a bit more. It’s a

Q&A with Judi Love

Can you bake? I’ve made the odd sponge cake, but I’m definitely not a baker. Describe your baking style in one word. Cupcake. What’s your favourite baked good? I do like a sponge cake. The last time I baked one, about five years ago, my God, I don’t know what happened. But I do like a sponge cake

Q&A with Mike Wozniak

In an interview for Taskmaster, you said the following: “Name any skill you would use your hands for to make a thing, I can’t do it.” That doesn’t augur well, does it? No, it doesn’t. It has augured poorly and, I would say, accurately, so far. We’re one challenge in, so far, and I have created
