The Great British Bake-Off is returning for another season, and this year a student from Antrim will be entering the baking tent.
23-year-old student Rebs is taking on the Bake-Off. She might be one of the younger contestants but has plenty of experience, having been baking since she was just three-years-old. With her earliest memory being helping her mum in the kitchen, and eating her granny’s signature lemon meringue pies.
She is extremely proud of her Irish heritage being an Irish dancer and playing the tin whistle.
But when it comes to her baking, Rebs isn’t afraid to try flavours from further a field. Being particular fond of Middle Eastern ingredients and recipes in a nod to her boyfriend, Jack’s Turkish heritage.
