    Very exciting news for the Cooking Club today!

    One of our regular contributors, Chong, will be a contestant on The Great Irish Bake Off :D. We'd better all watch to make sure he credits us for any recipes used ;). No, seriously, it'd be great if we could drum up a bit of support for him to keep him motivated!

    He's happy to answer any questions about the show, and you can find out more about him here:

    Ready - Set - Bake! Presented by former Big Brother star Anna Nolan, The Great Irish Bake Off is the ultimate baking battle where passionate amateur bakers compete to be crowned Ireland’s Best Amateur Baker. Over eight episodes our 12 bakers will bake their way through challenges that will confuse, enlighten and certainly push their baking skills to the limit. They will be carefully watched and critiqued by our judges - renowned Cookery Writer and Forager, Biddy White Lennon and award-winning Executive Pastry Chef from The Merrion Hotel, Paul Kelly.

    It starts on TV3 this coming Thursday, the 19th, at 9pm.
