Jon Watts Author

Jon Watts is a recipe creator, influential social media chef and experienced private chef. He has appeared on ITV’s This Morning, advertising campaigns for Quorn, and various news programmes and documentaries, cooking live as well as sharing the story of how he became a professional chef following a prison sentence in his earlier life. Determined not to fall into the cycle of reoffending, Jon took every opportunity to learn and develop which led to, among many others, his achievement as the first person in custody to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. He secured a job in one of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants just two days after being released from prison, and went on to start his own food truck business, became a sought after corporate and events chef, and gained national exposure through his social media profile and TV appearances. This is his first book.
