MasterChef 2018 winner, Kenny Tutt delighted attendees at last week’s Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) with two live cookery sessions at the MasterChef Kitchen & Demo Area. Kenny cooked dumplings with Ping Coombes, who won MasterChef in 2014.
Since winning the coveted culinary trophy in April, Santander bank manager Kenny has been doing food demos and working with brands such as Kenwood. Speaking to HousewaresNews.net after his demonstrations at BLE, Kenny admitted he would like to have his name on an apron.
“I like a flashy apron, and sometime next year, I’d like to bring out a branded apron that’s ‘cheffy’ but could also be worn by home cooks,” he revealed.
Kenny is working on a concept for a cookbook, and stated: “I’d like to do pop up street food around the country, a fusion of British and American cuisine.”
So how does Kenny feel six months after lifting the MasterChef 2018 trophy? “It’s completely flipped my world upside down and opened so many doors,” he said. “When John Torode and Gregg Wallace announced that I had won, I went through every emotion, from happiness to exhaustion!”
Kenny’s favourite week on MasterChef was going to Peru, while his least favourite moments on the show were: “When John or Gregg would come and talk to me three minutes before I had to plate up, when I still had a million things to do such as making a sauce!”
