It is taken me to the age of 51 to bake my to start with cake and the pressure was on as I was rustling up a single of Joe Wick’s new recipes – to be style examined by the person himself.

Which is not how I felt as I sweated bullets measuring out the components for his gingerbread cupcakes with day caramel just before bunging them in the oven and hoping for the best.

Now I know how Good British Bake Off contestants feel as they current their wares to the uncompromising glare of choose Paul Hollywood.

Joe tentatively picked up a cupcake to examine my work.

He stated: “I assume you have nailed it as the texture and density are wanting very good – but the flavor will be the most important factor.”

Gulp – now it was crunch time. Although hopefully not as well crunchy.

He provides: “It smells wicked. I really like the ginger….ah, that is lovely. It’s good and moist, not dry.

“The caramel day on best is a pretty very good effort and hard work – 10 out of 10. You’ve handed the test.

“You’ve baked them seriously very well. I’m satisfied with that. That’s really superior. Definitely yummy.”

Phew – must’ve been beginner’s luck.

But does the guy with 11 cookbooks to his identify at any time have a kitchen disaster as I usually do?

He smiles: “Oh yeah, I have burned masses of points in excess of the yrs.

“Even the other day I acquired this wonderful steak from the butchers – a 28 day aged Himalayan rock salt steak.

“I was executing reverse searing, where you put it in the oven for fifty percent an hour on a very low warmth, so it cooks by means of awesome and carefully, then you just whack it on the grill for a moment either side.

“But the oven was also warm so it finished up like roast beef – I ruined a genuinely superior little bit of steak.

“So even immediately after 11 cookbooks I can make a straightforward mistake like that.

“But when you have got two very little young children pulling at your ankles as well it is quick to overlook you have place one thing in the oven as properly.”

It is reassuring to know that Joe is human soon after all.
