Benjamin Delwiche, fondly known as Benjamin the Baker, is a delightful blend of a math pedagogue during the day and an audacious baking virtuoso as the night falls. His sweet tooth, nurtured since his early days, led him to voraciously consume any cookbook he stumbled upon. This ignited a passion that saw him juggling assorted roles at neighborhood bakeries throughout his adolescence and university years, absorbing the nuances of the baking craft.
In 2021, Benjamin ventured into content creation, focusing on the mechanics and methodologies of baking. Over the last 2 years, he’s cultivated a dedicated following on TikTok (1.2M), YouTube (1.1M), and Instagram (596k). Mirroring his teaching style, his videos elucidate the principles of baking through explicit examples and live demonstrations.
What distinguishes his content from the sea of baking and baking science videos is his unique approach to illustrating the impact of ingredient alterations or procedural missteps, such as incorrect creaming or improperly whipped meringue. He surpasses the norm of merely parroting explanations without the requisite procedures to substantiate them.
In his inaugural cookbook, Benjamin will transpose his signature scientific method to home baking, offering readers a thrilling “bake your own adventure” experience. Starting with the essential baking skills everyone should acquire, Benjamin will then inspire readers to take those abilities and let their creativity soar.
The majority of the book will be dedicated to the recipes, structured in a manner that prompts the reader to ponder over the techniques and science that underpin the recipe. This will assist them in personalizing the recipe to achieve the flavor and texture they desire.
