SOME I MADE EARLIER: Britain’s Best Bakery judges Mich Turner and Peter Sidwell, who is from Brigham

The chef, who runs the Simply Good Taste cookery school near Keswick, is a judge on Britain’s Best Bakery alongside TV chef, author and Little Venice Cake Company owner Mich Turner MBE.

In the 20-part series the pair sample delicacies from the country’s favourite independent, family-run and community bakeries.

Peter said: “Everyone loves a bakery, but these days they are a little scarce on the high street so, for those who have one, it should be celebrated.

“This series puts our best bakeries through their paces giving them challenges and pushing them out of their comfort zones to really discover who has the total package and deserves the title of Britain's Best Bakery.

“We need to get young people excited about baking and help them realise there are careers out there in this field.”

Peter has previously appeared on Channel 4’s Lakes on a Plate and has his own range of cookbooks.

He also runs the Peter Sidwell @ Rheged Cafe near Penrith.

The four-week show started on Monday. It is broadcast at 4pm Mondays to Fridays.
