SANDRO FARMHOUSE
During Season 13 of The Great British Bake Off, Sandro Farmhouse caught the eyes of many viewers with his gorgeous grin. Various press outlets—The Guardian, Into, British GQ, Attitude, and more—became eager to learn more about the Angolan baker who was a former nanny and community worker for children with autism and special needs. However, it wasn’t long before Farmhouse proved he was more than his looks and scones. As he made his way to the finale (which he did not win), he spoke more of his company, Baking on the Spectrum, which is dedicated to helping families with children with autism through baking classes and programs. This year, Farmhouse landed a cooking segment on ITV’s Lorraine, a U.K. daytime show, and wrote his very first cookbook, Good Vibes Baking. Look for the book to be released in May 2024. —G.E.
