    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Chong will you be available after each show for a Q&A session? :D There are so many things I want to know, such as...Who eats all the baked goods every week? Are they shared among the cast and crew? And who does all the washing up? :D

    Very well done Chong :)
    It's a great programme, I really enjoyed it and it gave me fierce cravings for cake. I'll have to make sure there's some in the house for future episodes...


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,657 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Turns out TV3 don't have a live streaming player, and we don't have the Irish channels, so I couldn't watch it. Will try and catch it when it goes up online though!
