Age: 58
Occupation: Lead Research Nurse for NHS Dorset HealthCare
From: Dorset via Singapore, Canada and Scotland
How would you describe your style of cooking?
“My cooking style is eclectic. Having lived in many different counties as a child I have many different influences that are reflected in my cooking. I also enjoy the more local produce in the UK, particularly the fresh produce that the North of Scotland is blessed with.”
What is your favourite ingredient to cook with and why?
“Any fish – having lived close to the coast, I developed a love for cooking and eating fish. If I had my own way at home, I would have kippers for breakfast every morning!!”
Why did you enter MasterChef this year?
“I entered MasterChef for the experience and to improve my cooking skills. Preparing for the show has improved my cooking and made me more confident in the kitchen.”
MasterChef continues Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm and Friday at 8.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
