0:00.0	Hey guys, Dave Chang here. Today we have Ruby Tando. You may recognize her name from Great British Bake Off,
0:06.2	but ever since then, she has become a very, very well-respected, well-admired food journalist,
0:14.1	and she has written a new book that's coming out. She has a lot of opinions that I happen to agree with, which might surprise a lot of
0:23.7	people, including myself, and really wanted to get her thoughts on food media journalism today

1:18.8	be hard to always be told that, hey, I know you're from the Great British Bake Off, and I think
1:22.4	she's done an amazing job of sort of carving that chapter out of her life, and not out of her
1:27.3	life, it's there, but it's a, it's, it's, we're going to talk about
1:31.6	where you're at right now, but we're joined with Ruby.
1:34.7	Thanks for calling in from London.
1:38.0	Thank you so much.
1:39.4	Thank you.
1:39.8	No, we don't have to pretend I was never on bake-off.
