Beth for MasterChef 2025 Heat 1 / BBC
Age: 40
Occupation: Vocal coach
From: Northampton
How would you describe your style of cooking?
“I love using a recipe as a starting point to then experiment and develop. Fish cookery is my favourite hobby but anything with bold flavours is my bag!
“The enjoyment of someone eating and enjoying your food is similar to hearing your performance as a musician. All the hard work that came before is suddenly worth every minute of blood, sweat and tears!”
What is your favourite ingredient to cook with and why?
“My favourite cooking ingredient is a lemon. I love lemons in drinks, savouries and desserts. The versatility but boldness of the citrus does it for me every time! Whether it’s with fish or gin… perfection.”
Why did you enter MasterChef this year?
“I love to have fun and live life to the fullest. I have been a singer/teacher for the whole of my career and I want to be more than just a voice sometimes. That’s why I wanted to enter into MasterChef. Cookery gives me the same feeling as performing, the same stresses but the endorphins at the point of serving are priceless.”
MasterChef returns Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.
