About Me

After winning the BBC Two series The Great British Bake Off in 2010 my life has been a rollercoaster journey in food and I’ve been lucky enough to do some amazing things. In late 2010 I worked at Raymond Blancs restaurant Le Manoir gaining experience in the pastry kitchen Since then I have appeared on numerous TV shows including Market Kitchen Big Adventure (Good Food Channel) and The Alan Titchmarsh Show (ITV1). I also regularly appear in print and have featured in magazines such as Good Food Magazine, Attitude, Waitrose Weekend (cover image) and have also appeared in numerous national newspapers including The Independent and The Sun. I am also a regular at food festivals across the country and regularly appear at the BBC Good Food Show Live.

But one of my greatest achievements so far (and one that I’m incredibly excited about!) is my first cookbook, The Boy Who Bakes, which was published on September 8th 2011. The book is full of fun and unique recipes that will give you a great mix of ideas and flavours. I am so excited about it and can’t wait to share it with you all! You can find more details on the book and where to find it on my Book page.

Please do have a browse of my site and see what takes your fancy. I really hope that some of the recipes and posts on here will inspire and encourage you to get into the kitchen and have a try yourself and to really enjoy yourselves when you do.
