Matt Adlard the self taught pastry chef and former Topless Baker on the best dosh he's ever eaten and the dishes that have shaped his life

My guest today is Matt Adlard

Matt is a self taught baker, author and social media pastry sensation.

You may have known him in the early days online as The Topless Baker and he’s known for hosting his own show on the Food Network as well as being a judge on various different baking shows including the BBC’s Platinum Pudding Competition. 

Despite growing up above his fathers Michelin starred restaurant, Matt says he had little interest in pursuing a career in food and fell into baking as a hobby while studying at university. He is entirely self taught and now teaches his millions of followers how to to become a professional level baker through his videos and courses. He has an online cooking school called Bake it Better and published his first book last year with the same name.
