Peter has been a chef for 17 years, graduating from Beverley College in Yorkshire, before going on to work in several of the very best hotels in York and learning his trade. He then went on to travel in Europe, cooking his way around the continent. The bright lights of the big city were tempting for a while, but having furthered his training on the London restaurant scene, he decided that he’d like to get back to his roots to work on a passion of his; baking. Peter joined a local bakery near York for several years, refining his skills and learning how to make great bread and pastry. He then moved into corporate catering for an international bank, cooking for private functions, training other chefs and giving demonstrations. Finally, having spent more time in a business suit than in his chef’s whites, he decided to go it alone; a life changing decision and the beginning of Good Taste!
There’s more to Great British Bake Off 2014 winner Nancy Birtwhistle than meets the eye! Nancy is a self-taught home baker who only took up baking seriously when she retired from her full-time job as a practice manager for a GP’s surgery 7 years ago. And, like everything she turns her hand to, she became really rather good at it. Full of energy and brimming with ideas, Nancy is a force of nature and whether it's growing her own fruit and veg to use in her recipes, rearing poultry (including the Christmas turkey), training a dog (who made it to Crufts) or doing a degree at 40, she doesn't do things by halves. Born and brought up in Hull and the surrounding areas, Nancy’s first memories of baking are Christmas baking with her grandmother. ‘I now realise that she did indeed have a significant part to play in my love of baking. She was a true home baker and never used a recipe book’. Through devouring books, taking tips and inspiration from people she meets and lots and LOTS of trial and error, Nancy has acquired an incredible depth of knowledge about baking. She knows what works and what doesn't. She loves the creativity of baking and the simple rewards of watching others enjoy something she’s baked. Now a grandmother herself, Nancy is determined to pass on her skills and knowledge to the next generation and show people that with a little bit of time, a lot of patience and a few simple ingredients – you really can make a perfect showstopper!
