18, and the country and its food had such an impact that she went back
to live there. She opened up a cocktail bar in Mexico City and used her
free time to travel the country and cook with some of Mexico's top
chefs. After returning to London and winning BBC2's MasterChef in 2005,
Thomasina worked for six months with Skye Gyngell at Petersham Nurseries
in Richmond. Thomasina and Mark Selby soon opened their first Mexican
street food cantina, Wahaca, which promptly won the Observer Food Monthly
's 'best cheap eats' award. Wahaca has since been included in the Cool
Brands list, and was voted London's best Mexican. Wahaca has now has
sites across the south-east of Britain, including Covent Garden, Soho,
Bluewater, Canary Wharf, White City and Stratford. Thomasina is the
co-editor of Soup Kitchen
and the author of Cook
, Wild Gourmets
and Mexican Food Made Simple
. She lives in London with her husband and daughter.
