Bake Off: The Professionals

And it's just, it sounds so easy to talk about it, but it's just a very, very well-oiled machine.

You know, on other shows like Bake Off Professionals, we have like little GoPros that we hide.

Um, we put them in the table on the table, but then we surround it with, um, we basically camouflage it in the same material that the table is.

Uh, so you can't see it on camera, but then we get a shot of the entire showpiece.

Sorry, but I joined that show.

You know, I loved cameras and I wanted to film a TV show and got onto that.

But I picked up so much stuff along the way, working on that show and talking to Paul and Mary back in the day and then working on Bake Off Professionals that when shit hit the fan and there was no TV work to be had, I was able to go in.

become a baker without much training because i've been baking for years kind of just picking up bits here and there and maybe the old spatula um which you know i would have found in a skip at work but um yeah the things you pick up along the way of working in food television literally i could have a whole another career there if i wanted to yeah um that's amazing it's wild maybe i'll be on the next bake off maybe um all right man take it easy take it easy dude

... show with Harry Hill.

The Bake Off: The Professionals never f- quite caught fire.

No.

I mean, just you watch incredible things that never, it never quite kind of entered the consciousness.

[upbeat music] Welcome to this bonus episode of the Good Food Podcast with me, Samuel Goldsmith.

[upbeat music] What do the Real Housewives of London, Bake Off: The Professionals, and Queen Elizabeth II all have in common? It's this week's guest, Nessy Welshinger.

She joined me in the studio this week to spill the tea on Series 2 of Real Housewives, as well as discussing her love of baking.

Nessy's favorite dish was Hainanese chicken rice, and today I am bringing you a version from the Good Food app.

Now, there's two things I w- mainly wanna talk about today.

One, obviously 'cause you've been on Bake Off: The Professionals.

Yes.

But you're also about to launch Series 2 of Real Housewives of London.

"... and sort them out really."

Basically.

Is it, before that, you, you did Bake Off: The Professionals before.

I did, yes.

He's been watching too much, what's it? Bake Off.

He's not really into Bake Off, but he likes Bake Off the Professionals.

But anyway, yeah, he was talking about that,
