Cook, writer, TV and radio presenter, winner of MasterChef and mother of three, Tommi has made cheese and run market stalls in Ireland, cheffed with Skye Gyngell at Petersham Nurseries and, in 2007, after living in Mexico for a year, she co-founded her first restaurant Wahaca, located in Covent Garden, and then went on to open 17 more.

Tommi’s passion lies in food and the environment: she co-founded The Pig Idea in 2015 with Tristram Stuart. This is an award-winning project to tackle food waste.
