The Great American Baking Show ™
Martin
Martin Sorge is a home baker, recipe developer, and food writer based in Chicago.
Martin has loved baking since he set the microwave on fire making a “biscuit” as a wee youngster. As a self-trained baker, Martin was taught by dozens of blogs, a vast cookbook collection, the local public library, and the people around him. Originally from Indiana, Martin grew up in a loving family, surrounded by cornfields, Amish farms, and a distant relative’s apple orchard. As a Hoosier now based in Chicago, his baking combines Great Lakes roots, multicultural urban home, and goofy, think-outside-the-box attitude. Although he’s a huge nerd about food and baking, he doesn’t take things too seriously.
