I’ve loved cooking ever since I was a child, then got more into it while studying English literature at university, learning new dishes from my flatmates and cooking on a budget for parties. Later, at law school,, who asked me to audition for the 2013 series. I pushed cookery school back one term to film and reached the final seven of the competition, which led to working as a food stylist and, eventually, to where I am now.
