Jo Wheatley Cookery Demonstration

Jo Wheatley has always had a love of baking since a very early age and when Jo watched BBC’s Great British Bake Off she thought how she would love to enter. It made her realise she would like nothing more than to pursue a career in the thing she loves doing most of all – baking! Jo feels incredibly proud that not only did she make it onto The Great British Bake Off, but also she went on to win against some amazing bakers. Since winning in 2011 Jo has set up a small cookery school from her home in Essex and has given Jay Rayner a mini baking lesson on the art of scone making for BBC TV’s The One Show. Jo has an extremely successful blog entitled Jo’s Blue AGA, receiving between 1500 up to 30,000 hits day. With her recipes published on the BBC website, in The Great British Bake Off Book and in The Daily Mail Weekend Magazine, her mantra in life is ‘if it doesn’t work first time, try again until you get it right.’ She says ”I think with baking it’s mainly about flavour, if you get that right all the other elements will fall perfectly into place”.  Jo will be demonstrating a selection of Tea Party treats.
