trying to invent something, He\u2019s trying to go out and really do things that are not on the beaten track and I appreciate that very much. It might be his downfall in the semi-finals, who knows? Playing it safe might secure him in a place in the finals, but where\u2019s the fun?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip of the week<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t do many sausage rolls at home, but what they said is to start with a high temperature to set the pastry \u2013 that\u2019s important so that the product doesn\u2019t come out \u2013 and then watch the temperature once the baking [starts]. If the bake needs longer, just turn the temperature of the oven a bit down so that your filling doesn\u2019t get too dry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>J\u00fcrgen answers\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do you think Cristy was the right person to go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I suppose it was a hard decision for the judges. I think it was quite sad to see, but she was the least consistent in this week. I do think it was the right decision. I think Dan had more to offer. And I don\u2019t quite get Paul Hollywood\u2019s remark that Dan\u2019s sausage rolls weren\u2019t sausage rolls because the brief apparently stated \u2018use any flavour possible\u2019. And I\u2019m not sure how much a personal preference should be taken into account for judging. Controversial.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI've learnt to believe in myself, push past my fears and never give up on my dreams.\u201d<br\/><br\/>Here\u2019s Cristy\u2019s lovely farewell letter to all you Bake Off fans. \u2764\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GBBO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GBBO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zLSp4DqPjn\">pic.twitter.com\/zLSp4DqPjn<\/a><\/p>\u2014 British Bake Off (@BritishBakeOff) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BritishBakeOff\/status\/1724536788276916326?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 14, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p><strong>Who needs to worry in the semi-final?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matty was really great and consistent this time, although not perfect, just consistent which put him above the others, so he needs to be careful.

But I had also a few nice chats \u2013 one with a journalist from the newspaper from my hometown and I look forward to her article.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll have another chat this week online with musicians from Luxembourg. One of them has a cooking blog, and she\u2019s planning a really exciting video blog on YouTube. She already has some footage where she cooks with musicians from symphony orchestras around the world and they want me there, so that\u2019s going to be exciting!<\/p>\n<p><a
