I wouldn\u2019t like to have those.<\/p>\n<p>Financiers are very rich \u2013 they are essentially butter, sugar and nuts and you can\u2019t eat much of it. So I would have probably gone for half the size and the judges\u2019 comments were quite often that they could have made them smaller, which also reduces problems in baking them. Of course, you have less of a canvas for decoration.

He is young, the youngster among the three. He has obviously a lot up his sleeve and I think he actually doesn\u2019t know what he knows. So he will be the surprise element. Josh has the finesse, which he showed off with his pastry. He can really create a beautiful end product, even under stress. And he\u2019s great with his textures and flavours.<\/p>\n<p>And Dan, he is one who really goes out for unusual flavours, so he goes the extra mile to to impress and to challenge the judges. I really liked his matcha take. Everyone knows that Paul Hollywood doesn\u2019t like matcha, and strangely Paul Hollywood was wearing a matcha shirt, so yeah, each of them will bring great elements to the finals. And I predict it won\u2019t be an easy judging \u2013 that\u2019s the only thing that I can predict.<\/p>\n<p>I do think Josh might have the best predisposition to win. But anything can happen! I would be happy with any of them to win. They all deserve it. It\u2019s such a huge thing to get into Bake Off. It\u2019s a huge thing to get into the semi-final and the final and the stress around the final. I haven\u2019t done it but of course I had to prepare for it. You start preparing for the final around week six to seven. It is a lot to take on and really, hats off to all of them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What the viewers don\u2019t see<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--aspect\"

things happen all the time if there\u2019s time to do that. And not all the helping actions make it onto the screen. But it is a very nice gesture. And it is nice by the producers to show that. There\u2019s a lot more going on in the hours of the bake that you don\u2019t get to see. Like, small little things, questions thrown across the room, banter.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably more concentrated during the semi-finals but because the production team and contestants have been together for weeks now, they know each other and they start knowing each other\u2019s gestures and body language, so there\u2019s a lot more going on. And most of that won\u2019t make it into the narrative on TV because an hour on the screen isn\u2019t long for an experience that lasts all weekend for the bakers.<\/p>\n<p>I find that this series, they show the bakers a lot and I like that visual \u2013 a lot of what actually happens on the benches. I do like that. They didn\u2019t show so much of the background stories, which is also interesting and kind of strange because I still don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t looked up what certain bakers are doing in their private life. But I like the angle of showing much more of what happens on the benches. So it is really a show about baking more than it was in the past two years.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip of the week<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>J\u00fcrgen answers\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Was Tasha the right person to go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I\u2019ve watched the episode twice. And unfortunately, she was the most inconsistent in this show. Her financiers weren\u2019t bad. I\u2019m sure nothing was bad in this episode, but the appearance of the raspberry buttercream wasn\u2019t that great. And the Technical was a problem of course, and then not being able to finish the Showstopper due to choice of materials. I think this type of puff pastry was a Technical last year. Sadly, it was the right decision.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"This is the scariest thing I\u2019ve ever done, but I just wish I could relive it all over again because oh my goodness what a DREAM it was!\"<br\/><br\/>Here's Tasha's touching 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\/2X9FW2LlG6\">pic.twitter.com\/2X9FW2LlG6<\/a><\/p>\u2014 British Bake Off (@BritishBakeOff) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BritishBakeOff\/status\/1727074252782711243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p><strong>Did Tasha\u2019s exit bring back memories for you leaving in the semi-finals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was eerie to watch it again and more than in other episodes, I really noticed the distance between the benches. So baking in the semi-finals is a lot more like working on your own little island and it is a really quiet tent most of the time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip of the week<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Financiers are actually not that difficult to make. So, go ahead, try them! If you bake something that uses a lot of egg yolk, you\u2019ll have whites left over and financiers are quite straightforward. You need a lot of egg whites for those. In terms of the pastry, there was an awful lot of puff pastry and lamination in the whole series. So I think this was the third or fourth challenge where they needed to make some sort of laminated pastry. For that pastry, it takes time. It takes a lot of cooling. Don\u2019t rush it!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Week in the life of J\u00fcrgen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m coming to London to meet a few chefs in some big department store to have a look at a few things that will happen in December. So that\u2019s going to be fun! I\u2019m preparing for a few online appearances, I\u2019ve got something coming up with the German British society. And I\u2019ve got something coming up with Milk Street cooking school, so I\u2019ve got a lot of admin to do about that and a few outstanding posts for Instagram and things like that.<\/p>\n<p><a
