VIDEO: Baking with Norman Calder… GBBO star’s pesto pinwheel

Great British Bake Off’s north-east star Norman Calder presents his latest video with the Press and Journal in association with Laing’s of Inverurie.

The retired Merchant Navy radio officer from Buckie, won the hearts of millions of viewers with his unassuming manner and rustic cooking style when he appeared on the BBC phenomenon.

The 67-year-old, who has been dubbed “Stormin’ Norman”, said he nearly backed out of the show after applying. But his excited family left him with no choice but to go through with it.

Now, in an exclusive video series filmed for the Press and Journal website, Norman is using the luxury cooking equipment and kitchens of Laing’s of Inverurie, leader in the design, supply and installation of luxury kitchens for over 20 years, to teach burgeoning bakers new tricks.

This week, it’s a pesto pinwheel.
