Taking The Pith

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of meringue week in the Bake Off competition.

For the second time this year, we've got a never-before-seen theme: meringue week. The bakers must whisk their way through three sticky challenges if they are to be crowned Star Baker. We've got a tarty signature, a technical on the rise, and a chilly showstopper - all opportunities to impress the judges and make it through to next week. Join Sarah, Jane and Howard as they discuss all things meringue - can you tell your Italian from your Swiss? The big news once again from Bake With A Legend is that not only are we still having great fun hosting regular  online baking classes every weekend, but this year we are going to be teaching a virtual class of either the signature or the technical challenge EVERY SUNDAY at 5pm UK following the episode. So, to take your enjoyment of the series to a new level, you can sign up week by week. Places are limited! We have plenty of virtual classes on sale now for you to enjoy and learn from the comfort of your own home. The classes are great fun and if you use the code PODCAST at checkout you'll get 10% off, whilst gift vouchers and bundle packs are also available. You can check out our  online baking classes  on our website. ***…
