I am a huge fan of the Great British Bake Off and AD Bambi Nicklen knew this when she called with an assignment for Stanford Alumni Magazine. She had a column about the show as a much needed oasis of niceness and civility during our very turbulent times. I’ve joked many times I just need to see people being nice to each other for an hour. The idea of a couple settling down while playing off the introduction to the show is exactly how I feel when it’s time for another Great British Bake Off.
