Daily Cooks challenge – Meet the chefs

Jo Pratt

Jo Pratt's quirky, no-fuss recipes and warm, engaging presence make her one of the most popular female chefs on our screens.

Her recipes and beautiful food styling regularly appear the Daily Mail Weekend and glossy magazines such as Olive, BBC Good Food Magazine and Glamour.

Jo has worked with big-name chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and John Torode on everything from live cookery demonstrations to hit TV programmes such as Hell’s Kitchen. However, her biggest fan is Gary Rhodes. Over the last ten years Jo has worked on nearly all Gary’s books and TV programmes - and they remain good friends!

Named as one of Waterstone’s Authors for the Future, Jo's bestselling books In The Mood For Food (Penguin, February 2007), and In the Mood for Entertaining (Penguin, June 2009) have received rave reviews.
