and Sandro, the GBBO 2022 finalists.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Channel 4<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The last episode of the season felt like an odd final for an odd series. The Signature, with a full picnic basket of treats, was very ambitious, and probably closer to the level of complexity of a Showstopper.<\/p>\n<p>The Technical had a bit of trap with the vegetable gelatine, that, if you had never used before, like Sandro hadn\u2019t, you wouldn\u2019t have known how to use. I would have failed the Technical completely as I had no idea up to last night that you had to boil veggie gelatine to make it work \u2013\u00a0 that little detail felt a bit like a sneaky trap for the bakers, so not exactly pleasant to watch.<\/p>\n<p>And the Showstopper challenge simply did not give enough time to the bakers to produce one of the masterpieces that they have produced in the past, so the result was slightly underwhelming, especially knowing what those three are really capable of.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Congratulations, Syabira<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I feel very smug today as Syabira was one of the two names that I picked off the initial dozen straight in Week One, the second being Janusz. And you guys on <strong>Radio Times<\/strong> have a good record of that to back up my claims!<\/p>\n<p>So I was very happy to see her getting the coveted accolade, not only because it proved that my initial prediction was at least 50 per cent right, but also because looking back at the whole season, Syabira did go into the final with the best records.<\/p>\n<p>Also, her performance across the three challenges was marginally better than Abdul\u2019s and Sandro\u2019s. And last but not least, she is just adorable and I\u2019m supper happy that she is now the reigning Bake Off champion. It could not have gone to a sweeter person. And finally a woman!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Congratulations to Syabira - winner of The Great British Bake Off 2022! <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GBBO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">#GBBO<\/a> <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/Mcgk9MkMzJ&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/Mcgk9MkMzJ<\/a><\/p>\u2014 British Bake Off (@BritishBakeOff) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/BritishBakeOff\/status\/1592626058917838848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">November 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>I have actually had the chance to speak to Syabira directly over the past few weeks and even though I didn\u2019t know that she was the winner, I told her just to take it in in small doses \u2013 just one day at a time.<\/p>\n<p>I am myself still relatively new to this and still very much learning, so I am in no position to impart any wisdom, but the only advice I feel would be appropriate at this stage would be to savour every second of the whirlwind of events that are coming her way, to enjoy every opportunity to do something new, as this might well be the only opportunity in an entire lifetime to do it.<\/p>\n<p>She should try to learn as much as possible by simply asking plenty of questions to those that have been in this business for longer as, at least in my experience, there\u2019s plenty of people in the baking and entertainment industry that are just very happy and willing to help a novice.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Favourite moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>They all did rather well in their Signature challenge, despite it being so ambitious. The judges kept criticising Sandro\u2019s for the size of his portions, but in all honesty, they didn\u2019t look at all massive to me. That\u2019s probably because I am not a posh nibbler, but rather a savage gulper, and I would have very happily helped myself to one of his sandwiches and pies without taking any offence on their size!<\/p>\n<p>Sandro\u2019s Signature was also very ornately presented without being too ostentatious. And, he thought of a glass of Prosecco to go with it, so in my view it was very much at the level you would have expected from a Bake Off final, and I enjoyed it greatly!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Least favourite moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Abdul\u2019s \u2018It\u2019s All About The Bees\u2019 Edible Sculpture Showstopper for the Bake Off Final. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GBBO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">#GBBO<\/a> <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/0mMjYHDCrT&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/0mMjYHDCrT<\/a><\/p>\u2014 British Bake Off (@BritishBakeOff) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/BritishBakeOff\/status\/1592623954996342784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">November 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>I have said this already, but the Showstopper in general left me with a bittersweet aftertaste. You could see that our lovely bakers gave it their best shot, but none of them managed to squeeze, within the time given, a truly final-worthy Showstopper. Let\u2019s not forget that these are the people who gave us a spherical cake on Custard Week, a massive rocket-shaped Krokan and an entire DNA helix made out of biscuit! They certainly have the skills to deliver, so I can only think that perhaps the timing was not adequate.<\/p>\n<p>Although, for fairness, I should say that hindsight is a beautiful thing, and it\u2019s very easy for us to critique a posteriori whether the timing was sufficient or not. The reality is that whoever sets the challenges has no idea how the bakers will react, so they can only go ahead with their best guess and hope for the best. So, I think that we should spare some sympathy for those that for 13 years have done their best to come up with ideas to entertain a very demanding audience.<\/p> <h2><strong>Giuseppe answers\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is there anything you\u2019d like to see happen differently in season 14 or going forward on Bake Off?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the things that I enjoyed the most in the early seasons of Bake Off was Mary Berry and Paul\u2019s masterclasses. I learnt a lot about baking just by watching the show, and I feel that that element of \u201cteaching\u201d has been somehow lost over the years in favour of the drama. I have always felt that the bakes should be the real protagonists of the show, not the judges, nor the bakers. And I would personally really like it if the spotlight was moved back onto the sweet (or savoury sometimes) treat, letting everybody else just being the conduit to a beautiful and inspirational bake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you encourage aspiring bakers to sign up for the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taking part in the show was the best thing that ever happened to me and I could not recommend it more! You might think that this is precious coming from the winner, but I genuinely believe that I would have been equally happy, proud and gratified even if I had left the tent in Week One. If you love baking and are a fan of the show, you must put your name in the ballot and give yourself a chance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A week in the life of Giuseppe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Following the final, I\u2019ve had lots of interviews lined up and radio sessions. I\u2019m coming to London this week for an event at the Italian Embassy. It\u2019s a dinner, so hopefully it will be good food. And then I\u2019ll be in Manchester because there is another event with Rahul and Peter that is book-related. So, we\u2019ll be at Waterstones in Manchester for a conversation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final words<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t sure whether I would have enjoyed watching the show much, after having been a part of it, but it turns out that I loved it even more. The experience of having been in the tent shines a whole new light on what is broadcast, and I can appreciate many more subtleties now than I was ever able to grasp as a \u201cconventional\u201d viewer.<\/p>\n<p>I have now formally handed over the baton to Syabira. I hope that she enjoys it as much as I did. I have no idea what the future holds for me, but I have no doubt that baking and cooking will be a dominant part of it. So for now, from me it\u2019s <em>arrivederci<\/em> and I\u2019ll see you soon (I hope!).<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C393,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C393,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C465,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C465,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C530,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C530,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C725&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C725&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C812&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C812&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C534,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C534,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C728&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C728&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1707285\" align=\"\" size-full=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--full=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Giuseppe-Italian-Bakes-62ba64a.jpeg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C812&quot;\" width=\"&quot;902&quot;\" height=\"&quot;1181&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" title=\"&quot;&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\" data-placement=\"&quot;Body&quot;\">\n<p><strong><em>To make your own show-stopping bakes at home, Giuseppe\u2019s debut cookbook, Giuseppe\u2019s Italian Bakes (Quadrille, \u00a320) is\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Giuseppes-Italian-Bakes-Classic-Desserts\/dp\/178713928X\/?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot;
