It’s been a very busy few months for local baker Jonathan Peregrino. He’s currently the pastry chef at Oak and Reel in Detroit, the head baker at Tapped Beverages in Canton, and now he’s adding to the list by competing on the Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship. Peregrino left his job in the corporate world to pursue a childhood passion for baking. Now he’s 38, and he’s baking professionally on national television. When Food Network’s casting director first reached out to him on Instagram, Peregrino said he thought it was a joke.
