Author: Bake With A Legend September 1, 2020 Duration: 16:43

Here at Bake With A Legend, we were absolutely thrilled when it was confirmed that The Great British Bake Off is coming back for another series - even the difficulties of COVID19 couldn't stop Paul Hollywood and the gang returning to the tent in a special biosphere to keep the show as 'normal' as possible. We can't wait to see it!


Founder of Bake With A Legend Josh Landy is joined by Bake Off legend Howard Middleton to review all the latest news and gossip that we could find about the new series as we look ahead to a very special season of the show.


Here at Bake With A Legend, we're slowly returning to our 'in person' events, but we are having great fun hosting regular online baking classes every weekend with the likes of Andrew Smyth, Dan Beasley Harling, Karen Wright and of course star of the podcast Howard Middleton himself, teaching all sorts of wonderful bakes with new classes being added all the time. So far we've had guests join us from America, Canada, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, Israel, France and even Milton Keynes so please do think about joining us!
