    EPISODE 10: FINALS WEEK

    Welcome to the Great British Baking Show 2020 Vegan Challenge! Join me as I recreate the challenges from The Great British Baking Show's latest season without using eggs, dairy or animal products! 

    Today we're talking Finals week on Bake Off: the challenges, the winner and how to make it all vegan! We talk about how I went about veganizing Peter's cranachan custard slices from scratch without any eggs or dairy in the Signature challenge, why I wouldn't touch the walnut whirls from the technical challenge with a ten foot pole and how those showstoppers compared to each other.

    EPISODE 9: PATISSERIE WEEK SEMI FINALS

    Welcome to the Great British Baking Show 2020 Vegan Challenge! Join me as I recreate the challenges from The Great British Baking Show's latest season without using eggs, dairy or animal products! 

    Today we're talking Patisserie week on Bake Off and all the feels that came from the surprise elimination in the semi finals! We talk about how you'd go about veganizing a rum baba for the Signature challenge, why anyone would ever want to even try the technical horn of plenty and how I went about making Laura's black forest cubed cakes for the Showstopper completely egg free and dairy free. In the process I ended up creating a super easy vegan hack to a mirror glaze without any gelatin or agar agar. It's way easier to make, pour and set, plus it doesn't get that rubbery texture at the end.

    EPISODE 7: 1980S WEEK

    Welcome to the Great British Baking Show 2020 Vegan Challenge! 

    Join me as I recreate the challenges from The Great British Baking Show's latest season without using eggs, dairy or animal products! 

    Today we're talking 1980s week on Bake Off. From the quiches in a hot tent (and how that affected the pastry) to hot dog looking finger donuts and the ice cream cake fails.

    I also share my tips on how to make each of those challenges vegan and talk about how I went about veganizing Dave's tiramisu ice cream cake and had a bit of a Great British Baking Show fail myself. Spoiler alert: my vegan ice cream didn't quite set as it was supposed to but some important lessons were learned. Mainly: you need an ice cream making machine to make vegan ice cream if you want it to be creamy and ice cream like. That's a non-negotiable.

    But I give you a quick vegan hack on how to make vegan ice cream if you don't have a machine and it's super easy!

    And hey, in the end the cake still tasted like tiramisu so that's a win!
