Prue Leith’s career has included her own restaurants, catering and cookery school businesses; she’s been a board director of companies such as British Rail, Halifax, Safeway, Whitbread, Woolworths, and Belmond (ex-Orient Express) Hotels. She has published eight novels, a memoir, I’ll Do Anything Once (formerly, Relish) and 14 cookbooks.

Prue is probably best known as a judge on the Great British Bake Off, but she is so much more than this.

She also presented a gardening programme, Prue’s Great Garden Plot with her husband, judged the American equivalent of Bake Off, The Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules.

She has had a deep involvement with education and the arts: she chaired the first of the companies charged with turning round failing state schools, and was Chair of the School Food Trust, responsible for the improvement of school food and food education.
