I 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: think everybody's feeling good. But I see the fireplace back 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: there now. Your spring may be a little bit different 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: than my spring. Right that's it's humming behind you. It 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: is genuinely cold today, but I'm hoping, you know it 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: goes back and forth. It'll get warmer, it'll get there cool. 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Now when when we look at the first of all, 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the school that you have 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: that you teach now you ever and I think you 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: have to drive a little bit outside of Burlington to 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: get your location right. Yes, yes, we're we're about We're 47 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: kind of in the middle of the state, so about 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: an hour away from Burlington. Um, we're actually really close 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: to New Hampshire. It's weird where we are, but we 50 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, it's awesome. And so what prompted you 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: to do with school? What prompted the naz on TV? 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: So it's even more popular, But it all starts with 53 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: a dream. What prompted you to follow through in your 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: dream to create the school? Well, I had had a 55 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: pastry shop and I was working from three am to 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: seven pm every day and that it was successful, but 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: I like sleep too much and we could never leave 58 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,559 Speaker 1: because it was small town Vermont. It's really hard to get, um, 59 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: the same amount of skill in baking to have someone 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: there when I leave. So, um, we stopped that and 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: I realized afterwards I was asked to teach it. King 62 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: Arthur Flower some master classes there, and then I started 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: teaching online for Crafty and then at Stonewall Kitchen, and 64 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: I loved doing that part. I loved imparting my knowledge 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: to people because I was the kind of baker that 66 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: I've had professional um learning and baking, but when I 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: started out, I didn't. I was a home baker. I 68 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: taught myself and so I knew how to talk to 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: people who were trying to figure things out at home. 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: So if they read a professional book, they couldn't quite 71 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: understand what was going on or what that mistakement. And 72 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: so that was brought me so much joy to kind 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: of share the secrets that I had learned from my mistakes. Well, 74 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's really interesting. I'm about to launch. I'm 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: just bragging a little bit here. Just you know, I'm 76 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: about to launch my own cooking baking shows called Russenge Kitchen. 77 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna have been launching in the joy by two 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: million homeowners who are gonna get to watch me every Thursday. 79 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: And but I'm just I'm just a guy who figured 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: it out in the kitchen. You know, I've not been trained. 81 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: And you said that too. When when don't you get 82 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: the confidence that you could really do this because there 83 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: are a lot of naturally trained people in kitchens around 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: this country, but don't take it to the next level. 85 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: What pushed you to believe that you could take it 86 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: to the next level? Well, um, I when I when 87 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: I was asked to Arthur Flower, I thought, well, I'm 88 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: a professional baker now. Uh. But I wasn't quite sure 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: that I had the skills to impart that knowledge. But 90 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: I thought it was worth trying, and they I thought 91 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: I had done such a good job that they kept 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: asking me back, and so more I taught, the more 93 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, not only do I enjoy this, 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: but I'm really good at this. And then my husband 95 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: actually was I was teaching at Stonewall Kitchen and Maine, 96 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: and my husband was picking me up, and so he 97 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: walked in on the back of the class, kind of 98 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: towards the end, and he said to me after class, 99 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: he goes, You're amazing at this. You need to be 100 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: doing this all the time. And that was the impetus 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: for opening the school. Um. I'm also I've also trained 102 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: I feel like my whole life for this, and I 103 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: am one of those people that I believe that if 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: you're not learning, then you're not living, and so I 105 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time uh kind of consulting with 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: kind of the masters of the craft and um honing 107 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: my skills all the time in chocolate work and sugar work, 108 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: in bread and in viennoissurie and lamination like these are 109 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: the things that I'm an expert at it, but always 110 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: find joy and learning more about the things that I 111 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: think I know everything about. And then you learn something 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: new and you're like, ah, that's so great. I have 113 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: a new I have a new little bit of knowledge 114 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: that I can work with. Well, you know, I think 115 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: that when you're hosting a show and you're in you're 116 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: around world class bakers, that always there's a learning curve too, 117 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: because they're gonna do some things that have techniques they 118 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: kind of like like you go, wow, I would have 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: never done it that way. What was the judge in 120 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: this show? And it's already premiered on the Food Network 121 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: and there's ten of the best around the country. What 122 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: did you learn the most about yourself? And what did 123 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: you learn about watching people use other different making techniques 124 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: that you may not use or consider. Well, I think 125 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: they didn't use anything that I don't use. But so 126 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: what was really interesting is seeing very young people, uh 127 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: use techniques that they were inspired by from their grandmother. 128 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: So in a pastry kitchen, we usually use a lot 129 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: of very high tech equipment. We have very the skill 130 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: level is really high. Like in chocolate work, it's a 131 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: lot of science and and and it's it's almost like 132 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: you're a master builder. You have to know these really 133 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: amazing things. But it was so lovely to see such 134 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: a young person coming in and being the most inspired 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: by her grandmother's baking. And that made me so happy 136 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: to see her kind of create these really wonderful things 137 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: that used her really like high salute and pastry skills, 138 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: but you could just feel her grandma's love and everything 139 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: that she did. That's amazing. Not call the Hall is 140 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the host, you know, and uh and she's one of 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: my favorite people because she's funny. And so when when 142 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: call the Hall is going to host them because she's 143 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: bigger than life. She's a former model and so she's 144 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: she's articulate, she she's she is really authentic, I like 145 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: to say, because when you walk in the room, you're 146 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: gonna get call of Hall. But she's funny. What was 147 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: it like working with her. You work with it before, 148 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: of course, but what was it like working with this 149 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: particular show because there's a lot on the line, because 150 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: you have reputations, you have people competing for twenty and 151 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: his ten of them talk about that. Uh, Carla. I 152 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: met Carla years ago and you can't not fall in 153 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: love with her when you meet her. But you also 154 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: know that it's the same for everyone. That you're not 155 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: special because everyone loves her. She's just as great with 156 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: everyone around her.

And I would spend a 171 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: lot of time just telling her how amazing she was, 172 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: because I was in awe of how she's so great 173 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: at hosting and being funny and natural and giving and 174 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: and sometimes just a little you know, she knows how 175 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: to like go after people and it's not mean, but 176 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: she's messing with them and it's just she's just got 177 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: the best way about her. And then she's on top 178 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: of all of that, she's amazing chef. So it's really 179 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: not fair, but you can't. You love her so much 180 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: that you don't matter that she's better at you at 181 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: every time. So well, you know to think, first of all, 182 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: you are fantastic, though this is you call out be 183 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: interviewed on a hard time, but we talk about you. 184 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: I'll just mentioned referencing callor because she is amazing if 185 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: what she does, but you're amazing at what you do 186 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: because of the fact you you make it seem so natural. 187 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: That's gonna be honest about this. And when you put 188 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: into a judging environment. You kind of talked about it 189 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: when you was talking about Jason, because you know, you're 190 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: judging people's talents, they're putting in a pressure situation, they've 191 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: got time restraints put on it, and then they're giving 192 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a theme tied to because each episode has a theme 193 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: tied to it. So when they invited you to come in, 194 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: it's the four seasons there right now on the Food Network. 195 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, is the Best Baker in America challenge in 196 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: world class bakers and you have their basically baking lives 197 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: in your hands. How do you address that? It's really 198 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: hard because you, first of all, of course, you have 199 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: so much sympathy for them. It's totally not fair that 200 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: bakers have restrictions on timing because that's not what bakers do. 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: You usually have all the time in the world to work, 202 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: and they're all incredibly talented. But what we did do 203 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: is we we had priorities of our own. So when 204 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: you give them a challenge, and this year we asked 205 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: them to make kind of really traditional American regional desserts. 206 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: So the challenge there was honoring that dessert, which is 207 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: usually pretty homey, it's not like a very fancy thing, uh, 208 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: and so keeping to the heart of that, but at 209 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: the same time putting their own professional and personal spin 210 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: on it, and so we had a way of judging 211 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: them that wasn't just based on the fact that they 212 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: were all incredibly talented. We were asking them to do 213 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: something really specific, and sometimes it was easier to judge 214 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: when they kind of ignored what the featured flavor was 215 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: or what the actual dessert was that we were asking 216 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: them to riff off of. But sometimes it was just 217 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: incredibly hard because you don't want to tell someone that 218 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: they're better there the other, and that's usually not the case. 219 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: Usually it's fact day someone had a really bad day 220 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: in the kitchen, which stinks. It's finally here, the season 221 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: of celebration, and no matter how you celebrate with family 222 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: and friends, whether you're preparing for Reis magos or Karamu 223 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: lighting the manura, are going to midnight mass, Coals has 224 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: just what you need to make those traditions special.

Now, let's talk about 256 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: that premiere episode because it already is air okay, And 257 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: it was and it was, like you said, it was regional. 258 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: So they went to Kentucky. Now, I was gonna ask 259 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: you this question prior to the show, did they tell 260 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: you where they were going? And they left you in 261 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: suspense as well as a judge. Um, we know generally 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: what's going to what they're going to be doing, We 263 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: know generally, Um, But everything is a surprise when it 264 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: comes to what people are making. You have no idea 265 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: what they'll come up with, which is what is so exciting. 266 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: And you get to know the person through their choices 267 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: that they make. Um and everyone, every one of them 268 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: brought a part of their history to these things that 269 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: they were making which made it so special. Well, you know, 270 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: each episode baker Bus creates something elegant and delicious. We know, 271 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's almost like you know, it's 272 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: like getting in the car. It looks good, but you 273 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: can't drive it. It's like if you make something are 274 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: pretty dessert, is it edible? Is there? You go? Whoa 275 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: are you spitting it out? And so that's that. That's 276 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: the often times a challenge with that tab restriction, So 277 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: is talent? Is tab restriction is the biggest challenge? Or 278 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: being told what they're gonna make right before they start 279 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: making it. What what do you think is the biggest challenge? 280 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: Time restrictions are definitely I think by far the biggest 281 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: challenge because a lot of times in the kitchen, when 282 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: something goes wrong, you are getting you have enough backup 283 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: time to start over again. But when you have a 284 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: clock that's sticking and saying you have to put this 285 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: in front of me as a dog, but it is 286 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: in front of me or you're out right, just that pressure. 287 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: Even so, it's the time, it's the pressure of the time, 288 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: it's the pressure of the cameras. Of course, I mean 289 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: that's a huge that's not a small thing, although they 290 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: all handled it incredibly well and they're all like super 291 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: charming and adorable. Um, yeah, the time has to be 292 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: the thing. I think. The other thing too, is that 293 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: sometimes when you think you've got a great idea in 294 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: your head and you haven't really executed it before, that 295 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: can be a big problem, you know, and watching the show, 296 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, and this apologize I cut you off because 297 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: I had to thought about because I'm really into this 298 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: whole judging because that's the part that scares me, you know, 299 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: because I've been invited to come on some of these 300 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: shows and I go, sure, you're not that good. You know, 301 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna get out there and somebody gonna ask you 302 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: to make something. Your whole brain is gonna just freeze up. 303 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: So I as a as a whole lot of admiration 304 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: when I watched either whether they can cook or I 305 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: would never go on Iron Chef. You'll never see your 306 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: ball And this Muskia level is not even close to that. 307 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: That's something else. That's another dimension. They're like aliens to 308 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: me when I look at this show their challenges and 309 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: that's what And then also you can get cut and 310 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: then the least baker gets to go up again as 311 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: a master Challenge. That's what I loved about the show 312 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: is that it has layers in it, and I think 313 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: that would also excite you. Is not just a straight 314 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: here's your dessert and wail, but their their their levels 315 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: in it. They'll allow you to compete and if you 316 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: don't meet the requirements, you still can compete, So you 317 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: don't just right, That's exactly and that's what it was 318 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: Actually so much fun in that way too, and that 319 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: you with Carla would always say, don't think of this 320 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: second challenge as kind of that you're being punished. Think 321 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: of it as a way to wow this again. Um. 322 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: And the great thing too is that the people who 323 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: were safe, the bakers who were safe, we're watching and 324 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: cheering on the competitors who had to duke it out 325 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: to see who was going home. And I think in 326 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: that way you learn a lot about everyone and not 327 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: just the people who are baking. And and what I 328 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: love about it too is that so many of these 329 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: shows are just so competitive. There's like there's just an 330 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: edge to it. With any hearts. All of them became 331 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: such good friends. They helped each other out, they admired 332 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: each other's skills. They learned from each other, so everyone 333 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: felt terribly when someone had to go home. It wasn't 334 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,239 Speaker 1: just the Usually the judges are the ones who were like, 335 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: we feel terrible. Everyone was invested in everyone else, and 336 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: I think it makes it so special and it makes 337 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: the baking so much better. Well, you know the thing 338 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: about it, here's what I love about it because I'm 339 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: a Southern bar born in Houston, Texas, you know, living 340 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia. So you know, when you started talking 341 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: about bacon pie, you talked talking about any type of 342 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: there's a peach cobbler, sweep potato pie. That's that's my roots. 343 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: But the thing about it is that you're allowing yourself 344 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: to go around the country, like when you go down 345 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: the Florida's Key Line pie, and then you go to 346 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: different parts of the country. That had to be fun. 347 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: You know. They just see these different regions which they rule. 348 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: They do have signature desserts, they totally do, and there's 349 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: some there's some that some of us had never heard 350 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: of before, or we were we heard of and we 351 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: didn't realize that this was like that state's dessert. Um. 352 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: The other thing is that the first last the last episode. 353 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: The first challenge was pie cake, and which was that 354 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: Derby may Day pie but but baked into a cake. 355 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: And if you think about it, at that point we 356 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: had all the contests, all the contestants there, we hadn't 357 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: eliminated anybody. That means we had to taste ten pieces 358 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: of pie cake. We all felt so sick at the 359 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: end of that day. It was crazy. We were looking 360 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: at each other. We were like, at this point, somebody 361 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: has to go home because we can't eat that much. 362 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: You know. That's that's that's the that's I guess that's 363 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: the the good part of being a judge. The bad 364 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: point sometimes it's the sampling because you really have to 365 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: sample it to give a good accurate because you don't 366 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: really want to like take a little bit and not 367 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: really get the full flavor. I'm not one of those 368 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: people who's just like nibbling. First of all, it's disrespectful. 369 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: The other thing, you you really don't get an idea 370 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: of what it is a made and you really should. 371 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: You have to take more than one bite because a 372 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: lot of times there's a lot of different elements in 373 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: a really big like pie cake and has the pie 374 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: in the middle and cake everywhere else, and then the 375 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: frosting on the ant side. You want to taste all 376 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: of it. We all needed alka sultzer and a nap 377 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: after that day, but we survived. We survived. There are 378 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot worse jobs because everybody's looking to the television 379 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: world is looking at you, because you know, if it 380 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: looks like you oversample somebody, and then you under sample 381 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: somebody and it looks like his favoritism, So you're right, 382 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: you have to commit absolutely, and you want to and 383 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: you want to really give them every benefit of trying 384 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: their dessert. And but that they all, I mean, I 385 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: think that was an incredibly tough first challenge because baking 386 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: a pie in a cake is just something that since 387 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: they are such like elevated pastry chefs, that is such 388 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: a not elevated thing. And so some of them were 389 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: just frankly horrified that they But it's like, that's the 390 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: challenge you gotta drive well, you know the beauty of 391 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: this whole scenarios, ten of them. You're part of it 392 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: along with Jason. Carla Hall is the host the Best 393 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: Baker in America series right now is on the Food Network. 394 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: But I want to before I leave, I got to 395 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: talk about your class. You know, my goal is to 396 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: get back in the class when you start registering for 397 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: the class. I know COVID. You know people are getting vaccinated, 398 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: so you can probably start registering for your class again. Correct, 399 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: we aren't we we don't quite know yet via the 400 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: State of Vermont because it's so small are classes and 401 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: its hands on so like restaurants are starting to uh 402 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: open up again to allow in person dying. But either way, 403 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: we're thinking at the end of late summer, early fall, 404 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: uh so everything. So I had there's no chance of saying, oh, 405 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: we had to shut down again. I just wanted to 406 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: be smooth, smooth books. And then we have some makeup 407 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: classes too, because we had to shut down the school 408 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: and people still were booked for classes. And so I 409 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: want to bring all those people in who missed their 410 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: class because of COVID, and I just I can't wait 411 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: to see them end up getting new ovens for the 412 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: for those schools. So what you know, what you know, 413 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: it's really different. People have to understand that all oven 414 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: can cook differently, heat differently than the new oven. Correct, 415 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: getting getting well. I also wanted to have it's a 416 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: new technology and these really special events, and I'm like, 417 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: I just want I want the experience for all the 418 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: students to be the best that it can be. And 419 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: this way I'll be able to spend more time with 420 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: students in less time looking at the oven and going 421 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: what's going on in there? So now before we wrap, 422 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about what makes that Because 423 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: Baked in Vermont is such a popular show and you 424 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: cook class which start out your husband inspired, you're looking 425 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: at the back of the room. You're not realizing you 426 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: had all these gifted natural skills and you go, that's 427 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: my wife, She's amazing. And now it's but well, what 428 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: exactly goes on when someone attends your cooking classes. Well, 429 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: the great thing is that they're small, so I get 430 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: to pay attention to everyone a lot, and they're not 431 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: that long. There are three hours so that you don't 432 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: feel exhausted. Because if you take a really long class 433 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: where you're on your feet and you have to like 434 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: try out all these new skills with equipment that's not yours, 435 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: you can get very tiring. So three hours is the 436 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: perfect amount of time. And so the class is usually 437 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: just one thing that you want to learn so say 438 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: it's Hi, or it's a Claire's, or um, it's a 439 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: summer cake. You know, we're just gonna make that one thing, 440 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: and you're gonna leave the class with that thing that 441 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: you made with your very own hands. Um. And everyone 442 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: gets a mixer. Everyone gets to try the equipment, and 443 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: you get to learn the tools that you might not 444 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: have known about that really help in elevating desserts. Uh. 445 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: And after class is over, I tell everybody to go 446 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: to King Arthur Flower because their store is right around 447 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: the corner, right, but then they go drop a lot 448 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: of money on a bunch of a quick well the 449 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: amusing things. She's she's a pastry chef. She's a wonderful person. 450 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: She's an author you see on TV all the time. 451 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: She's a host of a very popular series. But more important, 452 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: you can see on Food Networks right now, best baker 453 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: in America.
