How Does Paul Hollywood Dunk His Cookies?

<p>On <i>The Great British Bake Off</i>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulhollywoodbakes/?hl=en">Paul Hollywood</a> is known for his tough but fair judgments, his piercing blue eyes, and his handshake, which he offers to a contestant only when they really impress him. But before he was ever a TV judge, he was a baker. When he first started doing TV appearances, it was nothing more than “icing on the cake” of his baking career. But all that changed when he got the call from <i>Bake Off</i>. Paul tells Dan about apprenticing in his father’s bakery, how his famous handshake has evolved over the seasons, and why he has an uncomfortable relationship with fame.     </p><p>Paul Hollywood’s latest cookbook is <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/celebrate-9781639735037/"><i>Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round</i></a>.
