Discover how to turn your kitchen into a showstoppe­r, with tips from the series’ stars

For the last decade, summer has meant one thing – the return of The Great British Bake Off. Millions tune in each week to follow the rises and falls in the tent, as the bakers fight to stay on another week. From the contestant­s making mouthwater­ing desserts, anxiously staring into the oven as they wait for their loaves to rise, to the inevitable disasters – all under the intense glare of Paul Hollywood – it’s pure entertainm­ent; but hugely inspiring, too.

Since the show started in 2010, there has been a surge in baking across the nation, as people have rediscover­ed the nostalgic pleasure of turning eggs, flour, butter and sugar into delicious masterpiec­es. If you, too, have fallen under the Bake Off spell, these key kitchen updates will provide the ultimate setup to help you create star bakes at home.
