Welcome to the most celebrated patisserie competition in Paris ā ready, steady, bake!
Watching snowflakes settle on the Eiffel Tower, Rachel Smithsonās cosy English village feels very far way ā as, thankfully, does her commitment-phobic ex, probably already kissing someone else under the mistletoe. But Rachel hasnāt come to Paris to mope sheās come to bake. Hard.
Because the search for Parisās next patisserie apprentice is about to begin! And super-chef judge Henri Salernes is an infamously tough cookie. But Rachel isnāt about to let her confidence (or pastry) crumble. Sheās got one week, mounds of melt-in-the-mouth macaroons and towers of perfect profiteroles to prove that she really is a star baker.
As well as clouds of flour, and wafts of chocolate and cinnamon, thereās definitely a touch of Christmas magic in the airā¦ Rachel hasnāt come to Paris looking for a fairy-tale romance, but the city of love might gift-wrap her one anywayā¦
Not even a dusting of icing sugar could make a more perfect Christmas treat!The Parisian Christmas Bake Off
