I love the severe injunctions: No custard! No cornflour! Must not contain cocoa! Must have 5 currants on top! What surprised me was that some classes had recipes attached that contestants had to use. Insofar as I've ever given any thought to these things, I'd always imagined people beavering away in their kitchens refining their own secret recipes. Another illusion shattered.
