TILLY

JUNIOR BAKE OFF CHAMPION 2024

Will be opening the Didcot Food Festival on Saturday 5th October at 10.30.

Chariya Khattiyot has gone from master coffee roaster to MasterChef Champion, becoming the 19th amateur cook to claim the coveted title on BBC One’s prestigious cooking competition.

Facing off the talents of 44 other ambitious contestants, Chariya triumphed at the end of eight exciting weeks of MasterChef culinary challenges, which culminated in a white-knuckle cook-off against the exceptional remaining finalists. Chariya was awarded the revered MasterChef trophy by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace on TV’s biggest cooking competition.

 The win means the world to Chariya and means that she can begin to pursue her career in food in earnest. Her grandad raised Chariya and taught her to never give up. And she didn’t!
