The former Ready, Steak, Cook star on the meals that have shaped his life.
Ainsley Harriott became a household name as host of BBC daytime TV classic Ready, Steady, Cook. He went o the radar when the show ended in 2010 – only to gain a new cult following online. Dozens of memes and YouTube channels have been created in his honour – and there have even been petitions, signed by thousands, to have him instated as the face of the new £5 note and to present The Great British Bake O. And when he turned 60 earlier this year, Twitter was astonished at how youthful the looked. He has been described by fans as ‘more than a TV chef’, an ‘unsung national treasure’, ‘the king of the kitchen’, and a ‘fully-fledged culinary legend’. Which is why we’re proud to have him as Good Food’s first celebrity to share the milestones on his journey to where he is in the food world today – his inspirations, his influences, and the convictions that drive him .
