Food: BarringtonHS220 alum Nirali Chauhan loves to bake for the good of the community. It landed her a place on GABakingShow on TheRokuChannel
I am so excited to tell you all about Nirali Chauhan, a talented, kind and brilliant young woman I have known since she was in elementary school and who you can get to know by watching this season's "The Great American Baking Show."
While serving as a resident fellow at Dartmouth, Nirali spent time in the King Arthur Baking Company's kitchen shaping and baking rolls to be donated to charity, sparking her passion to"bake for good." Nirali started a bake sale unlike any other I have ever seen. She donated all the ingredients and time, secured a corporate match for all proceeds, and then started baking. There were no tables covered in plastic-wrapped aluminum containers, but boxes and boxes of cookies, often with a few surprise treats thrown in, sold to people who placed orders, with all proceeds going to the Chicago Community Bond Fund.
She stayed in a studio apartment with a small kitchen to experiment with ingredients producers warned her are different in the U.K. For example, butter contains more fat, flour has different hydration, and even cream cheese is different. These differences triggered Nirali to use her scientific mind to think about the science of baking, focusing on components like acid and ph.
When asked her favorite part of being on the show, Nirali quickly responded,"Meeting the other bakers." Nirali said,"There is no other place all these people would come together" and that the group keeps in touch, encouraging each other from afar. Lucky for her, fellow contestants Sarah Chang and Martin Sorge are also from Chicago.
When reflecting on her time on the show and the impact of baking on her life, Nirali shared she will never forget the time she spent with her mom in the U.K. and how baking has been a great way of honoring her dad, who passed away 10 years ago.
