Interview with David Baddiel

Can you bake? No. Very simply. Weirdly, I can cook, I cook all the time. I cook roasts and pasta and curries and all sorts of things – generally things that aren’t one composite thing, like a cake is. I’m more likely to cook a plate of food. What I haven’t done in my life is make something that is akin to a brick of food. I’ve never done that.

Interview with Anne-Marie

Can you bake? I hadn’t tried until practicing for this, to be really honest. I don’t even know the names of most desserts. I’m not really into cream or anything with that kind of texture. My go-to dessert is sticky toffee pudding or chocolate cake. So, all of this stuff is completely new to me. But it’s good fun and I love learning new skills, so it’s been great. And stressful!

Do I refer to you as Dame Colonel Kelly or Colonel Dame Kelly? Officially it’s Colonel Dame Kelly, but you can call me Kelly! Can you bake? No. No. I’ve never baked.
