Now that those in the UK have been able to get their GBBO fix and others are but a few days away, it is time to revisit some of our favorite recipes from the GBBO, as The Telegraph has done. Since that article is behind a paywall (and I have already used my free trial), I will share my favorites and ask that you do the same so we can all find something new to try.

I am always tuned into the technical challenges because they provide a terrific opportunity to learn about classic bakes, some that I already knew but many of which expanded my baking horizons. Povitica was one I hadn't seen before but became enamored with, and placed in on my "must try" list. Here is where I must sheepishly admit that I have not, in fact, made povitica yet, but in all fairness my "must try" baking list is longer than a CVS receipt.
For the showstopper bakes I was drawn to Candice Brown's winning 'Queen Victoria' strawberry and mango meringue crown. In signature bakes, my favorites include each and every Battenberg cake made by the contestants - I love the idea of a surprise pattern inside a gorgeously decorated cake. Another signature bake I tucked away for later was Dave’s caramel latte custard slices (pictured above). Which recipes from the GBBO have resonated with you?

I've also made a number of Nadiya Hussein's (2015 winner) recipes from her 'Time to Eat' series. Her Peanut Chicken Tray Bake and Chicken Shawarma are in my permanent rotation.

We haven't done a recipe, but two technical challenges have sent us off to bakeries. The best kouign-amann has been from Dozen Bakery in Nashville, TN. According to Wikipedia, the GBBO technical challenge inspired U.S. bakeries to start making kouign-amann. The best princess cake has been from Saga Pastry + Sandwiches in Henderson, NV.
