主播大秀

The Whitakers from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire have a wealth of cultural experiences when it comes to food, as they have lived all over the world and been influenced by the places they have visited.

Andrew is hotelier and used to work for a large hotel chain. The family would live in one country for two years before changing country and hotel - he now owns his own hotel in their local town.

Qidi is a housewife as well as an entertainer, TV host, actress and singer in China. She still goes back to China on an ad hoc basis to appear in television shows. Although she was originally from a poor family, she discovered that her great grandfather was the last Emperor of China. She was born in Beijing and has lived all over - she calls herself a modern-day nomad.

Jasmyn is a 17 year-old student studying theatre, performing arts and music. She has previously appeared as an actress and singer on Chinese TV shows. She really wants to follow in her mother's footsteps; she likes writing and performing her own music and is up for showcasing it while cooking in the kitchen.

Tommy Banks

Born and raised in Oldstead, North Yorkshire, into a family of farmers, chef Tommy Banks’s passion for food and nature flourished from a young age.

Tommy’s family bought The Black Swan just as he finished school and he started working there with no real intention of becoming a chef, but by 2013, at the age of 24, Tommy was awarded a Michelin Star - making him the youngest Michelin-starred chef in Britain at the time.
