Book description
Gregg Wallace, star presenter of BBC's MASTERCHEF, restaurateur and
expert on all things pudding, shares his story for the first time. After
leaving school at 14, he started his career as a greengrocer at the New
Covent Garden market and went on to create his multi-million pound fruit
and veg business a decade later. A star slot on BBC VEG TALK, an
award-winning television programme followed and in 2005, the chance to
front MASTERCHEF, a show that has drawn in over 4. 5 million viewers and
produced some of the nation's best up-and-coming chefs.
He has since opened two restaurants, Wallace & Co and Gregg's
Table, penned numerous cookery books and has written for the national
and trade press. In this, his first memoir, Gregg tells how his early
passion for food growing up in Peckham, South London led to a world of
Michelin star restaurants, celebrity chefs and a mission to save
Britain's produce - and in an extraordinary turn with more than a few
life-changing hurdles - brought him back to his roots. Gregg Wallace
is a fruit and vegetable expert, writer, media presenter and
greengrocer. He lives in London during the week and at weekends in
Whitstable, Kent.
