Dylan is a true multi-hyphenate talent.
Dylan Bachelet, the 20-year-old chef who captured hearts on The Great British Bake Off 2024, is taking his culinary talents to new heights.
Recently announced as the latest addition to The MiLK Collective family, Dylan has already made waves in the food and media worlds with his unique cooking style and bold fashion sense.
Dylan became a household name during his time in the iconic Bake Off tent, where he blended his Indian, Japanese, and Belgian heritage into innovative bakes that stood out for their creativity and flavour.
Throughout the series, Dylan earned ‘Star Baker’ twice and received three coveted handshakes from Paul Hollywood.
Despite a rocky final—where his scones needed remaking, and his hanging showstopper cake didn’t quite hit the mark—his flair and determination shone through.
Judges praised him for his ability to elevate flavours and for the striking design of his bakes.
Before entering the tent, Dylan’s love of culture and food took him on a life-changing gap year through Southeast Asia.
His travels introduced him to bold new flavours, vibrant street food, and the art of Japanese baking, which now influences his stunning presentation style.
Along the way, he met countless inspiring people, further fuelling his passion for blending flavours and techniques from different cultures into his creations.
Proud of his fusion roots, Dylan often experiments with sweet and spicy combinations inspired by his Indian mother and Japanese–Belgian father.
His bakes reflect his heritage while incorporating refined techniques from French pâtissérie chefs, whose work he follows closely on social media.
Beyond the kitchen, Dylan is a true multi-hyphenate talent.
He is an avid skateboarder with a love for ’90s PCs and vintage cars, as well as an artist at heart.
Encouraged by his artistic mother, he paints Japanese-inspired characters and cartoons on t-shirts, blending his creativity with his cultural influences.
Known for his fearless and fashion-forward style, Dylan has become a style icon, often turning heads with his bold prints and unique looks.
Trained under the legendary Raymond Blanc at Belmond Le Manoir, Dylan has since joined the Michelin-starred team at The Five Fields, honing his craft with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
