Elliot Styche

This Week on Baking Scraps: A joyful chat with Elliot Styche!First, Lisa & Cristina open the episode with a little rundown of what we brought and who we saw when we attended the Vancouver open call for Season 9 casting of the Great Canadian Baking Show this past week - it was a fabulous day with some incredible alumni, efficient and friendly crew, and some new and familiar local BC bakers. Check out the Instagram handles of some who impressed us!Then, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas - at least, it was when we recorded this week’s episode! Lisa and Cristina kick off a special three-part series featuring the finalists from The Great Australian Bake Off Season 8, starting with the one and only Elliot Styche.Elliot shares how his upbringing on a Yorkshire farm shaped his love of food and gave him the skills to pull off an impressive dinner party with speed and ease. We chat about what brought him to Australia; his journey to Bake Off; what’s next for him; and his special bond with fellow finalists Dimi and Arvin (who we’ll hear from in the next two episodes!).Of course, it wouldn’t be The Baking Scraps without a round of This or That, a deep dive into Elliot’s thoughts on pineapple on pizza, and his very own “Baking Scrap.” Plus, we uncover some very interesting facts about Australian wildlife and chocolate—though, fair warning, we don’t have a fact-checker, so take them with a pinch of salt (or sugar!).Tune in for laughs, baking tales, and plenty of joyful chaos!
