Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 8, which features a 48-cracker signature, a tea cake technical challenge, and a gingerbread structure showstopper. Brendan tastes marshmallow for the first time (and paints eyelashes on a bird!), and one of our fave contestants gets sent home. andrea orders fancy chocolate off the internet and attempts a gluten-free adaptation of Paul's teacake recipe.

To make the tea cakes, follow Paul Hollywood's recipe (using a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix to make them gluten-free).

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 7, which features a sweet bun signature, a jam doughnut technical challenge, and a celebratory loaf showstopper. Ryan’s "lardy cakes" are somehow the most delicious bun, this isn’t James’s first doughnut, and two—two!!—bakers are sent home. andrea notices the bundt pan celebratory loaves look the most celebratory, and makes a fudge and caramel tear 'n' share brioche in a bundt pan at home. 

Bake along with andrea's gluten-free recipe here.

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 6, which features a two-pudding signature, a Queen of Puddings technical challenge, and a strudel showstopper. John crosses the food processor and lives to tell the tale, James’s strudel is as moist as a Canadian band from the ’90s, and Danny’s delicious-looking showstopper features leek, potato, pistachio and gruyère. Join andrea as they make sticky toffee pudding and try to convince Kim that even though it seems like a fancy bran muffin in sauce, it’s actually quite tasty!

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 5, which features a wellington signature; a bacon, chicken and apricot hand-raised pie technical challenge; a historical segment on eel pie; and an American pie showstopper. John uses his warm hands to fashion antlers out of pastry, and Ryan puts candied ginger in his mouth-wateringly good-looking key lime pie. Join andrea as they make their "beef" (vegetarian) "wellington" (gluten-free). 

andrea's wellington recipe can be found here.

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 4, which features a torte cake signature bake, a crème caramel technical challenge, and a four-layer meringue showstopper. Manisha bakes chocolate-rich things for her own enjoyment, rather than her family's, and James’s “exotic fruit salad” meringue divides the judges (and us). Also: join andrea as they follow Mary Berry’s recipe to make crème caramel for the first time. 

Visit us on Twitter @roughpuffs to see andrea turn out their first crème caramel.

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 3, which features a tarte tatin signature bake, the most boring technical challenge known to man, and a designer fruit tart showstopper. Danny pairs pear with Roquefort—yum—and John's showstopper glistens like a box of jewels. Inspired by James, andrea makes a grapefruit curd tart with an almondy shortcrust base and vanilla mascarpone cream, topped with grapefruit macarons and roasted almonds.

Find us @roughpuffs on Twitter to compliment andrea on their grapefruit curd tarte.

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 2, which features a flatbread signature bake, an eight-stranded plaited loaf technical challenge, and a sweet and savoury bagel showstopper. The tomato cake man persists; Kim worries about Victoria’s nerves. andrea attempts to do an eight-stranded plait with gluten-free challah dough and it goes as well as you’d expect.

Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 3 Episode 1, which features an upside down cake signature bake, a rum baba technical challenge, and a hidden design cake showstopper. There are two too many Union Jacks and the wrong person goes home! Also: join andrea as they make a Baked Alaska for the first time.
