This very special baking-focused episode features an incredible line-up of expert guests: Nigella Lawson, Edd Kimber and Ravneet Gill, who between them have written countless baking recipes and produced thousands of cakes, biscuits, buns and breads. They join Jimi Famurewa and guest co-host Martha Collison – the youngest person ever to take part in The Great British Bake Off and a baking aficionado in her own right – to look at why baking is more popular and meaningful than ever before. As well as asking if it’s possible to have too many brownie recipes, the panel explore the ways in which baking brings us joy, pleasure and fulfilment, discuss how it can be a force for good, and agree that imperfect-looking bakes are often the best.
