The ever-upbeat, prone to dancing David Atherton – aka Great British Bake Off winner 2019 – released his debut cookbook in 2020.

Designed for kids, My First Cook Book is a healthier take on the majority of sugarladen, baking-heavy recipe collections usually aimed at children and families.

And in 2021, he’s set to have a cookbook for adults out too. We caught up with him to grill him on his culinary likes, dislikes and cravings.

Your death row meal is?

Peanut butter sandwiches. I eat peanut butter every single day. I’m obsessed with it.

You still can’t cook?

According to Bake Off, choux pastry. And I can’t cook meat any more because I’m vegetarian.

Your favourite store cupboard essential has to be?

Bread flour.

The kitchen utensil you can’t live without is?

At the moment, it’s a microplane – it’s brilliant for mincing garlic and zesting things. But apart from that, it would be a really good spatula.

Your favourite late-night snack of choice is...

Dried figs.

Your signature dish has to be?

Cinnamon rolls.

You like your eggs?

I love all kinds of eggs, so I go through phases. At the moment I just like really nice fried eggs.

The ultimate childhood dinner of your memory is?

It has to be homemade bread buns and peanuts. I was quite fussy as a kid and one Christmastime, our mother asked us what we wanted for Christmas – we were allowed to choose – and myself and my twin brother, we chose bread buns and peanuts. That was it. We are so similar. We are both obsessed with marzipan, that almond flavour. We both are obsessed with peanut butter. We have very similar tastes, almost identical.

What did you eat last night?

We had a stir-fry with tuna steaks – when I say I’m a vegetarian, I eat fish.

Your takeaway of choice is?

We don’t often [get takeaway], but if we do, it would be sushi.

You just can’t stomach?

Sprouts, it sounds really bad but I like almost everything. And I really think sprouts are inferior.
