Lesley Waters (born 3 April 1960) is an English celebrity chef. She regularly appeared on such cookery programmes as Ready Steady Cook, and is currently[when?] one of the featured chefs on This Morning.

Career

[edit]

Waters studied French Cuisine at Ealing College for three years, before cooking in top hotels, and winning awards including a scholarship to the Hotel Intercontinental in Düsseldorf.[citation needed] She then joined Prue Leith's restaurant, where she was promoted to senior chef. She then worked as a freelance corporate chef and caterer for government officials before joining Leith's School of Food and Wine as an instructor, rising to head teacher.[1]

Waters started in television in 1989 on various cable TV shows, before Ready Steady Cook and Can't Cook, Won't Cook.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

Waters is married to Tim, a photographer, and the couple have two children. They live in a manor house near Halstock, Dorset.[2] The house is now the base for Waters' cookery school.

A panel of dietary experts recently publicly praised Waters for the use of ‘good fats’ in her recipes.[3]
