Are you a cook?

I honestly try however I have been known to mess up a dish or two as my friends and family will tell you.

Any cooking tips?

Frying and then poaching chicken is a great way of making the meat succulent with a crispy outer.

I am a born and bred Yorkshire man and love my roast dinners. I have travelled across the UK and still my step-father Adrian Ripley’s cannot be beat.

What is your favourite restaurant in the Sheffield area?

Burritos at Street Food Chef are filling and tasty with plenty of options. For a sit down meal, Ashoka, Ecclesall Road, is renowned.

Worst meal you’ve ever had?

My ex girlfriend’s mum used to make a disgusting cheesy mash, which being in the position I was in, I had to finish.

And the best?

Again I have to hand it to my step-father, my family often rate his food higher than that in restaurants (shame he is a dentist)His beef wellington is legendary: rich, tasty, plentiful.

Your favourite TV chef?

Saturday Morning Kitchen often boasts the best chefs going.

What do you think of Sheffield as a place to eat out?

It is ever improving, I love the independent restaurant movement which Sheffield seems to have embraced, there are always some gems hidden in the great nightlife.
