On The Great British Bake Off, <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 Bake Off. 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.     Paul Hollywood’s latest cookbook is <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/celebrate-9781639735037/">Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round</a>.
