Jo Wheatley has
always
had
a love
of baking
since
a very
early
age
and
when
Jo watched
BBC’s
Great
British
Bake
Off
she
thought
how
she
would
love
to enter.
It
made
her
realise
she
would
like
nothing
more
than
to pursue
a career
in the
thing
she
loves
doing
most
of all
– baking!
Jo
feels
incredibly
proud
that
not
only
did
she
make
it onto
The
Great
British
Bake
off,
but
also
she
went
on to
win
against
some
amazing
bakers.
Since
winning
the
Great
British
Bake
Off,
Jo
has
set
up a
small
cookery
school
from
her
home
in Essex
and
has
given
Jay
Rayner
a mini
baking
lesson
on the
art
of scone
making
for
BBC
TV’s
The
One
Show.
Jo
has
an extremely
successful
blog
entitled
Jo's
Blue
AGA,
receiving
between
1500
up to
30,000
hits
day.
With
her
recipes
published
on the
BBC
website,
in The
Great
British
Bake
Off
book
and
in The
Daily
Mail
Weekend
Magazine,
her
mantra
in life
is 'if
it doesn't
work
first
time,
try
again
until
you
get
it right.'
She
says
”I
think
with
baking
it's
mainly
about
flavour,
if you
get
that
right
all
the
other
elements
will
fall
perfectly
into
place”.
Jo
extends
her
knowledge
and
perfects
her
skills
as a
baker
daily,
through
cooking
and
baking
for
her
husband
and
three
boys.
When
she
is not
baking
Jo loves
to ride
horses
in the
countryside
around
her
or go
swimming.
