Ohh! Very excited to have my 8th cookbook – ‘Theo’s Family Kitchen’ just released (Oct 2023)! This is a book I’ve wanted to write for a long time; a truly family focussed cookbook. This is the book that I want to hand to my kids when they leave home knowing they’ll have all the basics to look after themselves in the kitchen (and be able to impress if they need to!).

Theo was invited back by the lovely folk on Masterchef as a guest judge to see how the current semifinalists got on. It brought back a lot of memories with some great food dished up by this year’s contestants.

Great show featuring Theo discussing the current cost-of-living crisis and the rise in tinned food with presenters Eamon Holmes and Isabel Webster on GB News.

Been great fun hosting some exclusive chefs table experiences for private and public listed companies for their c-suite and investor members.

Usually taking place onsite or in a hired private venue, recent events included the De’Longhi family flying over from Italy to the UK head office, or for Acast at Soho Works, London. Sometimes it’s just a beautiful dinner with some chat, othertimes guests can have some fun getting involved.

I can’t believe my first appearance on This Morning was over 4 years ago! Another great show featuring a couple of recipes from my latest book CANNED – lots of fun with Alison and Dermot!

Here’s a sneak peak of the show:
