#74 How baking can change the world with GBBO contestant Tom Gilliford
from The Unconventionalists with Mark Leruste · host Mark Leruste
Unless you've lived in a cave for the past few years, you're probably familiar with Britain's most popular TV baking show, the Great British Bake Off, aka GBBO. Where amateur bakers come together to compete for the sweetest title of all. But if you thought that a Great British Bake Off competitor only cares about cakes and bread, you’d be wrong. In this episode I talk to Tom Gilliford from the 2016 season of GBBO who went to win two Star Baker awards on consecutive weeks. In this episode Tom and I talk about the highs and lows of Tom’s career so far and his most recent venture with Cactus Kitchens. Tom also describes how he lost 30 kilo’s before becoming a teacher and how he found the motivation to start his weight loss journey. If you enjoy today's episode please share it with one friend!
