Season 7: Episode 11: Chris Baber
Manage episode 359078880 series 3461251
I met Chris Baber over food - of course - at an amazing party at Nobu full of the best canapes! We positioned ourselves right by the kitchen doors – in the firing line, and now it was time to get him over for a chat!
Chris reminisces being a child cooking in Northumberland with his granddad; he was influenced by the greats like Ainsley, Gordon and Rick! He went on to win a cooking competition on the BBC and went to work under Atul Kochhar, the Michelin starred chef in London. He talks about being in a professional kitchen from wearing chef’s whites to prepping food and serving beautiful dishes.
Chris really wanted to create a community showcasing his easy and accessible recipes. He wanted to make people comfortable in the kitchen. And we bond over the thinking that food doesn’t need to be complicated. We’re inundated with such a plethora of recipes, particularly on social media, that we have lost the essence of simple home cooking.
His debut cookbook, Easy, demonstrates just how simple but delicious food can be!

I am beyond excited to announce that I have partnered up with Magimix for this season of Crazy Sexy Food!
As the inventor of the food processor, Magimix is a family owned business that has an amazing reputation as makers of quality kitchen appliances and are cherished and adored all around the world by both chefs and home cooks alike.
I remember growing up and always seeing my mum's beloved Magimix on her counter top, and the utter ease of how she used it. Fast forward to today and my beautiful Magimix Cook Expert is literally the most used appliance in my kitchen! This latest innovation is both a food processer and multi-cooker in one machine – it's a game changer for me and such a dream to use.
I think of it as my "personal sous-chef" – I give it all the hard work to get on with so I can focus on more interesting jobs like tasting, flavouring and serving up delicious meals.
And don't even get me started on their ice cream machine, the Gelato Expert – it makes ice cream to rival even the best Italian delicacies! Oh – and if that isn't enough – come September they’re launching a new range of Blenders.
