Interview with Chris Bavin on Best Home Cook


SERIES 2 2nd January 8pm, BBC One

Hello Chris. What do you think makes a great home cook?
I think a great home cook should be adaptable but also passionate. I have always said if you care about the food you cook, it will taste nicer. I appreciate cooking for your family can feel like a job at times, but you have to do it so you might as well enjoy it!

Tell us about The Rustle Up Challenge. What is it, how do you come up with each challenge, what are the main skills, what will impress you the most?
I love the Rustle Up challenge, as it is what home cooks have to do on a daily basis. You have to be inventive and adaptable. Often we have to use something up or substitute an ingredient... or open the fridge and magically create something delicious out of very little! What impressed me in this challenge is seeing a simple ingredient transformed into something quite special.

What do you want to see in the series that will really impress you? And what do you not want to see?
I want to see some resilience; not everything will work but I’d like our cooks to be able to compose themselves, dust themselves off and keep going.

What has Angela brought to the table as a new judge?
Angela has brought so much to the table as a new judge. She is someone I respect enormously, she is at the very top of her game and a lovely supportive kind person too!

What else is new about this series? What are you most excited for viewers to see?
There are many brilliant additions to series two, which we've made whilst keeping all the brilliant bits of series one! There are a few twists this year that I can’t wait for people to see.

What was your favourite home cooked meal growing up?
I think I have a few! Sunday roast was always delicious but I also loved bangers and mash... and still do.
