The definitive collection
of Paul Hollywood's infamous handshakes

What?

This project is a collection of all of the handshakes that Paul Hollywood has given to contestants across all seasons of the Great British Bake Off.

Why?

As season 9 started, it became apparent that these handshakes were being given out far too frequently. There wasn't a place where it was clear how many had been given out and when, so I decided that I would create such a place, partly for fun, partly for learning and partly for documentation of the handshakes.
