Crystelle Pereira began cooking in her mother's kitchen at a very young age, but it wasn't until 2019, just before the lockdown of 2020, that Crystelle's family requested that she start baking. After dabbling in several cake recipes and decorating techniques at home, Pereira's family encouraged her to apply for the 2021 season of Great British Bake Off. Thinking there was no chance she'd get on the show and after nearly a dozen rounds of interviews and applications, Crystelle received the call that she had been chosen as one of the 12 finalists on what she affectionately refers to as "Bake Off".  From successes and challenges in the GBBO tent to her post-Bake Off life including her stunning new cookbook "Flavor Kitchen", we discuss it all on this episode of That Was Delicious.
