Rachel Allen Bake!

Rachel shows you how to make a gorgeous poppy seed cake. It is incredibly rich and smothered with a vanilla buttercream icing. Rachel meets Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar, renowned for his masterful use of spices. He takes her on a culinary trip back to his childhood and bakes some sweet treats his mum will be proud of! And Rachel teaches the cookery school students a great recipe for bagels – you may be surprised that they get their dense chewiness from being poached first and then baked.
