PETER SAWKINS: Achieving the Unexpected & Starting from Scratch
It takes a special kind of guest to launch the FIRST ever episode of The Book of Firsts podcast... and I'm certain I found the perfect person for the job.Today I am joined by baker, badminton seasonaire and the best florentine biscuit maker I’ve ever met... the wonderful Peter Sawkins.His memorable first: Achieving the unexpected...(AKA WINNING BAKE OFF) First he wants: Starting from scratch in a new city.First he wished he'd never had: Struggling with anxiety as a teenager.We dive deep into Peter's firsts and discuss all things from how winning Bake-Off helped him 'chill out', to big fish small pond syndrome, and reframing his difficult teenage years in an attempt to move forward and learn from the past.He also gives us the inside scoop into his latest ventures, including a brand new baking book which was released earlier this week!
