Hello I'm Lesley
"Gaining a place on the Great British Bake off was a highlight of my life so far. The journey was amazing and I've made friends for life."
Prue and Paul loved my style of homely traditional baking using local produce.
I have been a hairdresser for all my working life but always had a passion for food and baking.
I am setting up my own bake academy, teaching traditional baking and cooking for all the family to enjoy from classics to more adventurous creations.
