I have that show on my list on Netflix streaming. Haven't watched it yet.

They make it seen she's quite the celebrity chef in the UK.

No offense to the people, but they really are amateurs, for the
most part. Not amateurs in the sense that they haven't been paid to
bake, but amateurs who have little experience.

I more like shows where I might make what they're making, I don't learn
anything from competitions. Okay, since I don't watch them, of course
I don't. Ha. The only thing I think I learned from the first episode
was what brandy snaps are. And that if you're going on a cooking
competition show involving decorative anything, you should practice
your piping skills.
