Leeds' TV recipes for success
Yorkshire Evening Post
|March 19, 2026
Leeds is a city full of talented chefs and bakers.
-
And some of them have tested their talents on primetime TV cooking and baking competitions, filling us with hometown pride. Dale Spink, a private chef from Farsley, has appeared on the latest series of Masterchef: The Professionals and here he is with 11 others you may recognise after appearing on some of the nation’s favourite kitchen competitions over the past 10 years.
Michelin-trained chef Bobby Geetha has appeared on not one cooking competition but two. The head chef at Fleur took part in Great British Menu in 2022 and before that was a quarter-finalist on Masterchef: The Professionals in 2016.
