Making his media debut as a contestant on
The Bristol-born chef hasn’t always been a prominent figure in the food world, as a former digger driver, he only followed his passion for cooking in 2005. Inspired by the home cooking of his father, Dean’s appreciation of fresh ingredients and simple dishes was developed at a young age. From humble roots to pursuing his dreams, Dean’s days on the digger are long gone, as the relatable star has gone on to publish three recipe books. Aiming to inspire the time-poor home chef, Dean’s books include ‘Cook Slow’ a book dedicated to the reliable slow cooker, and ‘Feelgood Family Food’, for quick and tasty recipes.
Appealing to a range of demographics, Dean’s media presence is undeniable, with his credits inducing: Take on the Takeaway, Market Kitchen and Saturday Cookbook. Additionally, Dean has dedicated his time to developing his YouTube channel ‘Dean Edwards Proper Food’ where he demonstrates some of his recipes in an accessible way. Replicating the same success in person, Dean’s live cooking displays are entertaining and educational.
