Baker and patisserie expert Matt Adlard joins The Good Food Podcast to talk about his new book, The Science of Baking, and what really goes on behind those picture-perfect desserts.

Matt shares how a DM from his editor led to writing a book that demystifies the "why" behind baking — from why you use a bain-marie for cheesecake to why your soufflé needs to be served immediately. He opens up about being entirely self-taught, learning from scientific journals and fellow bakers on social media, and building a "recipe locker" of perfected fundamentals he mixes and matches to create new desserts.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

How Matt went from studying international business to becoming one of the most-followed bakers online

Growing up with a Michelin-star chef father — and why he still didn't learn to bake at home

The toast test for finding hotspots in your oven

Why ingredient substitutions (yes, even swapping cream cheese brands) can ruin your bake

Pro tips for the perfect lemon tart, including his dad's original recipe

The croissant disaster during a 30°C photo shoot

His most memorable baking fails — including a three-tier birthday cake that collapsed at his mum's 60th

Why "chasing perfection" is his philosophy, and why he wants you to see the mess behind the magic

Plus: quickfire questions, a guilty pleasure involving squirty cream, and what good food really means to Matt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
