Hey! I'm Jon

I started cooking at the age of 18, whilst I was serving a 6½ year sentence in a young offenders institute as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Fast-forward 18 years, I’m working for myself and spend my days creating and sharing recipes, cooking at private and corporate events and helping to inspire others but particularly young people through my cooking.

Speedy Weeknight Meals

Speedy Weeknight Meals is my 2nd cookbook that was published in August 2024 and became an instant No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller. It’s packed with recipes I like to make which are fast – all 30 minutes or less and flavourful to liven up your weekday meals.  80 tried and tested recipes, with something for everyone and every occasion, like Bang Bang Chicken, Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe, Beef Stroganoff, Creamy Tuscan Cod and S’mores Traybake.

"I check Jon’s Instagram page daily for cooking inspiration. His recipes are easy to follow and, the ones that I’ve made, are absolutely delicious! I’m just waiting patiently for his cookbook."

At the moment I have stopped taking private bookings. I have become very busy with the books and social media side of things. I may take bookings again at some point in the future but at the moment I am unable to specify if and when this might happen.

Yes, you can get in touch with me via the contact form with any requests for recipes you’d like me to share.

No I don’t. I would like to open somewhere at some point, I will keep social media updated with any developments.
