  There are two ingredients I will not touch, the rum and the grapefruit juice.

  Hi Ruth, Unfortunately, because this season aired in 2012 in the U.K., we were not able to acquire recipes from the season. We have tried to provide links to any recipes from the season that are on the BCC Food site, but it is quite limited.

  I cannot find the actual recipes for this year's technical challenges. Are they posted somewhere?

• Re: Season 5, Episode 5: Pies
  These pies were nothing like American pies! American pies stay in the tin and have a flakey crust. The “pecan pie” with the cherries and chocolate topping was a disgrace, as well as all these “pumpkin” pies that didn’t even contain pumpkin. For the first time, I am truly upset with Mary and Paul.

  The US is airing them backwards. Our season 1 is UK season 7, US 2= UK 6, US 3= UK 5, and so on. It is REALLY confusing. And I'm not sure why we've done that.

Well, as I can't seem to find another place to put this comment, it is my turn to educate the Show. Last week, I watched the "pie" show. The showstopper was supposedly an American

  None of those "american style pies" was a pie. A pie should be baked in, and sliced from, a pie dish. None of them used an American style pie shell, either; there was no crust edge, nor crimping. Only the sweet potato and key lime were even legitimate pie fillings. They were all more like "pie-inspired" tarts.

  Thank you for the comment April. It is very important to understand where a recipe is from. The ingredients are not the same so I always verify that when baking. I love the UK lower sugar content in British cake.
