Stella’s Scoop14 Feb 2025

Dylan Bachelet, GBBO Finalist and The Five Fields

Hey folks, welcome back to the Scoop podcast.

Before Christmas, my mum and I binge-watched the Great British Bake Off. I am used to watching lovely home bakers from around the country on this show but similar to many other watchers, Dylan Bachelet caught our eye. A rambunctious, sharp-witted and creative 19-year-old positively bursting to tell us of his dream to become a chef.

Now actively pursuing this dream at The Five Fields in Chelsea, and juggling his new-found fame, I managed to sit down with him to discuss choosing the path "less-trodden" let’s say by our peers, and rebelling against our shared norm.

Meeting Dylan reaffirmed to me how much I love this industry and the exciting, revolutionary people who enter it. This year’s Great British Bake Off audience got an insight into a young industry innovator, I look forward to seeing what he does next.

I’m Stella, and I’m going to take you out for dinner.
