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.

Watts Cooking

Watts Cooking is my debut cookbook that was published in October 2023. It includes 100 recipes that are made simple, using ingredients that can be found easily in any supermarket. Chapters include ‘Speedy weeknight dinners’, ‘Proper comforts’, ‘Plenty of pasta’ and many more.

"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 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.
