The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. employee has a talent for cakes, pastries and pies, good enough to have earned her a spot in the final of the "Great British Bake Off," the wildly popular reality-TV show known in the U.S. as the "Great British Baking Show."
Her bakes that most impressed the judges -- the much-feared Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith -- incorporated ingredients as varied as miso, tahini and yuzu. The show reaches its conclusion this week (spoiler alert), with Pereira facing off against Chirag "Chigs" Parmar and Giuseppe Dell'Anno after early favorite Jürgen Krauss's shock exit in the semi-final.
The competition was held over the summer and viewers don't know if she'll win, but Pereira, who works for the asset management division, is already back in the bank's London office. Her success has drawn plenty of attention from colleagues and clients in recent weeks, making the 26-year-old one of the best-known faces in the City of London.
