And Mel has even brought her own ideas, and one or two foggy memories, to give them inspiration.Back at the farm the trio settle in to mix some cocktails, get a masterclass on some of the more unusual ingredients, and have a proper chat about Great British Bake Off, Mel's food roots, and her upcoming projects.
