In episode two of Bakeology, Adam chats with Bake Off judge and King of pastry, Darren Purchese.

They chat about their first memories of the Bake Off Shed, highlights from Darren’s years as a pastry chef, stories from running the Melbourne institution Burch and Purchese with his wife Cath, what’s on Darren’s perfect cheese board and so much more!

And of course, there are the three bakes that lead to these stories:

- Michele Bras Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding

- Canelé

- Coconut, Passionfruit, Ginger & Mint dessert - the iconic creation from Burch and Purchese
