Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own and take over a rundown pub in the quiet Buckinghamshire town of Marlow. He opened The Hand & Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005, and it went on to become the first (and only) pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars. In 2014 he opened a second pub in Marlow, The Coach. As well as hosting two of his own BBC television series, Tom has been at the helm of the BBC’s Food & Drink and Bake Off: Crème de la Crème. His previous books include Proper Pub Food, Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes, Tom’s Table and the bestselling Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet and Lose Weight for Good. @ChefTomKerridge / tomkerridge.com
