San Francisco was my starting point for the Baking blind world tour: a city full of life and history with a great reputation for good food . Also home to the LightHouse organisation that awarded me the Holman prize for blind ambition, I learned from real experts such as Luis the Michelin-level pastry chef, Tanya and her authentic Creole creations , the Cheeseboard team who have also hosted such luminaries as Great British Bake-Off’s Paul Hollywood. See them all over the next few weeks!
