She shares the skills she’s learned from her time in the restaurant industry to inspire and teach people how to cook at home, from the basics, right up to achievable restaurant-quality food – as well as a potato or two. Poppy published her first book in 2021, followed in 2023 by the Sunday Times best-selling Poppy Cooks: The Actually Delicious Air Fryer Cookbook. She has been a judge on E4’s Celebrity Cooking School and the BBC’s Young Masterchef and is a chef-mentor on ITV’s Cooking with the Stars. Poppy lives in Birmingham with her fiancé and two dogs.
