Key Quote: "I will start with the weaknesses in that I don’t get things right the first time, and have to redo it. My strengths are my flavours. I like making a red chocolate velvet cake with a raspberry goo which is denser than jam. I am a very traditional baker and I tend to stick to bakes that I like and I know that other people like."
Great British Baking Show Season 15
Originally from the Bronx, in New York, Jeff arrived in the UK in 1979, when he emigrated with his English girlfriend (now wife), whom he’d met while she was hitchhiking her way across America and he was a sports coach for a summer camp. They have lived in Yorkshire since 1987. A keen and competitive sportsman, Jeff has now hung up his basketball boots, but still loves swimming, going to the gym and long countryside walks. He began baking in earnest when his children were little, having learned the basics from his grandmother and Hungarian great-grandmother when he himself was a child. As you might hope (and perhaps even expect), he makes a mean New York Cheesecake.
Flavor Fusions
Many of the bakers from The Great British Baking Show ™ introduced fascinating new flavor fusions. For those of us who like being creative in our home kitchens, it is often inspiring to learn of these taste combinations.
