“It’s good to challenge yourself… just close your eyes and go for it!”
W›orking with your other half could be a dream – or a nightmare – but Lisa Faulkner takes it in her stride. The food writer married chef John Torode in 2019, and they host their popular cookery show, ‘John And Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen’, on ITV. Before her reincarnation as a cook, the actor appeared in soaps ‘Brookside’ and ‘EastEnders’, and spy drama ‘Spooks’. But her life took a different path when she won Celebrity MasterChef in 2010 – and she decided to pursue her lifelong love of food.
The mother of one enjoys spending time with her daughter, Billie, 14, and cooking with her family. ‘Cooking is a pleasure and I love that it keeps me close to home. Billie says I show love through food and she’s right – it brings me great joy!’
Faulkner inherited her love of food from her mother, who died when Faulkner was 16. She talks about mental health, taking risks and how she juggles work and parenting.
