Dame Prue Leith Of The Great British Bake Off
Dame Prue Leith of The Great British Bake Off is our guest on today’s show. Prue has been a judge on the beloved baking series since 2017, and earlier this fall, she released a new cookbook, Life’s Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom: Really Good Food Without the Fuss.
Prue joins host Jessie Sheehan to discuss her fascinating career—from studying drama in South Africa to learning how to cook in France to becoming an esteemed cookery writer, novelist, and TV personality. She shares how she got her GBBO gig, why she loves a colorful wardrobe, and what she does and doesn’t like about American desserts. Then, the duo talk trifles and Prue walks Jessie through her Dark Chocolate & Orange Trifle recipe from her new book. “I’ve never met a trifle I didn’t like,” Prue says.
