A new chef from Manchester will join the role call of this year’s Masterchef contestants on the show tonight. Meg, a 24-year-old radio producer, is among those in the penultimate heat of this year’s contest.
Meg grew up in Manchester, before going to university in Newcastle, and is now back in the city and living with her boyfriend. But unlike many of her fellow contestants, she will be cooking only vegan food.
“I’m vegan, so I love to experiment with all sorts of vegan dishes,” she said. “Having fun with my food is really important. For me it’s about sharing delicious food with my friends. I love using spices and never compromise on flavour with my dishes.
