Hosted by Antoni Porowski, Netflix’s ‘Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition,’ AKA ‘Easy-Bake Battle,’ is a baking show that celebrates home cooks across the country. Each episode of the series welcomes three competitors who must use every tip and trick in their arsenal to make delicious food with minimal ingredients and complexity. The winner gets the title of Easy-Bake Champion and is awarded $25,000. They also have the opportunity to come back and defend their title in future episodes and earn up to $100,000.

Naturally, fans of the show are curious to know what the celebrated cooks are up to these days. If you are in the same boat, here is everything we know about the same!

AJ Remains Ambitious to Find His Calling in the Culinary Industry
As of writing, AJ is working as a Server, though he hopes to further himself in the culinary industry and impress others with his cooking skills. The cook has five siblings with whom he shares many fond memories. However, AJ’s passion for cooking can be attributed to his father, who helped AJ learn more about what to do in the kitchen from the tender age of five. When AJ was young, his father had to stay away from home for long stretches of time due to work. Hence, cooking with his kids was a way for him to connect with them. While AJ’s other siblings did not share the same passion for cooking as their father, AJ seems to have followed in his footsteps and hopes to take it to the next level.

As of writing, she is a wonderful mother to three beautiful girls whom she adores a lot. Her eldest daughter is Grace, who is an excellent swimmer and apparently loves Thanksgiving. For Stephanie, her journey on the Netflix show is meant to be an inspiration for her girls so that they can see that no dream is impossible if one puts their heart into it.
