    Join Lisa and Cristina for an inspiring episode featuring Lauren Tjoe, the youngest winner of Season 6 of the Great Canadian Baking Show! Balancing her finance career with her passion for baking, Lauren shares her journey from Tsawwassen to Toronto and dives into her love for collecting teapots and her daily excitement for breakfast.


    What makes Lauren's story truly remarkable is her experience on the show as a gluten and dairy-free baker. Due to her dietary restrictions, she had to bake without tasting her creations, relying on her intuition, creativity, and knowledge of flavors. Discover how this challenge shaped her baking style and taught her to trust her instincts in the kitchen.


    Now living in Toronto, Lauren satisfies her creative cravings through pop-up baking events while maintaining close friendships with her fellow contestants. Tune in as she reflects on her journey, shares tips for aspiring bakers, and discusses the joy of combining finance with her culinary passions. This episode is a delightful mix of baking, personal growth, and the adventures of following your dreams!
