We chat with Great British Bake Off judge and author of “BAKE” Paul Hollywood about the best and worst parts of his job, his secret to perfect scones and what a bin lid is—and why it's so delicious. Plus, journalist Alex Beggs tells us about cookbooks for pets; J. Kenji López-Alt takes wok cooking outdoors; and we make Spicy Chinese Beef Skewers.

Questions in this episode:

"My fiancée and I just bought our first home together and need to stock our new kitchen. Are there any fun specialty items you can recommend to add to the new kitchen?"

"I have recently gotten into making macarons. My question is this: if I’m using an Italian style recipe, other than the method, are there any other changes that would need to be made if I want to use the French technique?"

"Any suggestions on a sweeter-lemonier cookie?"

"How can I sell my baklava to stores?"
