James Peck and Steve McClarty lit up the BBC’s latest reality cooking TV show, featuring world renowned chef Jason Atherton.
In the final episode, James was one of two chefs asked to lead Jason’s scratch team in the ultimate cook-off against a brigade from a Michelin-star restaurant in Paris.
The father-of-one from Northampton was hand picked to be on the show and spent six weeks touring the culinary capitals of Europe competing against the continent’s finest eateries.
James, 29, took time out from running his business, Burnt Lemon Catering, which specializes in private dining, weddings and events. He said: “It was totally worth it. I learnt so much.”
At the very end of the episode, Jason singled out Steve for special praise and handed Steve his chef’s ‘bible’ – a personal collection of recipes collated during his illustrious career.
Steve and James will together demo a dish inspired by the show and later in the day cook in front of the crowd single handed.
James cut his teeth in the Army catering corps after joining aged 16. He left at 21 and went on to work in high-end London kitchens before going alone in 2018.
