Chris Baber

Chris Baber is a chef on a mission to make cooking easy with his delicious, fuss-free recipes. His debut cookbook, Easy, was published in April 2022 and is filled with 96 recipes for meals that anyone can make, from Spicy Prawn Tostadas to Summer Strawberry and Raspberry Crumble.

Growing up in Hexham, Northumberland, Chris discovered his love of cooking aged 5 making fry-ups at the weekend with his grandad, his biggest inspiration in the kitchen. By age 8, Chris was head chef in the Baber household cooking dinner most nights for the family. 

Chris has worked under critically acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar and won the 2016 series of BBC One’s popular cooking competition Yes Chef

Previously a consultant and resident chef for M&S Food for 4 years, Chris created weekly family recipes and was the face of their ‘Fresh Market Update’ TV adverts, a campaign which reaches millions of people across the UK cooking with seasonal British Produce.

With over 200,000 followers across his social media platforms, Chris gives his followers the confidence to get in the kitchen and cook his easy recipes – accompanied by some motivational music, of course. One of his proudest achievements is the ‘Chris Baber Cooking School’ which provided free cookalongs to children during lockdown.  

Chris works with Aston Martin and recently cooked for the global media launch for the Aston Martin Db12 in Monaco.

He will be joining us at BBC Good Food Show Summer as an ambassador for HexClad. Chris has been an ambassador for HexClad for the past 2 years and will be taking to the stage to show you how to create a quick and easy summer recipe, before each Big Kitchen session using their hybrid cookware. Make sure you head to the HexClad stand to try out their cookware and pick up your own pans to enhance your cooking at home.
