The Great British Bake Off Has Its First Vegan Contestant

VegOut Magazine • Sep 28, 2021
19-year-old Freya Cox is the first vegan contestant on The Great British Bake Off, bringing plant-based recipes to the show for the first time in its twelve-season run. Cox, who bakes in her free time when she’s not modeling for a sustainable and ethical fashion agency, impressed judges with her vegan raspberry & lemon mini rolls and an anti-gravity cake made of edible flowers in the season premiere.

While Freya was unable to use vegan ingredients for the technical challenge, she has pledged to veganize those dishes once she returns home, keeping all other creations on the show plant-based. The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 in England on Tuesdays, with US viewers able to catch it on Netflix three days later under the title The Great British Baking Show. Fans can already watch the premiere episode, with the second episode set to be available on October 1st.
