Welcome to Tinker’s Cooks! I’m Jay Tinker, a MasterChef finalist and passionate chef based in Southport. My journey with food has been deeply personal and transformative. In 2012, I reached the top four on BBC’s MasterChef, impressing judges with my culinary skills and creativity. However, my greatest battle has been with stage 4 cancer, which I am proud to say I have beaten.
Throughout my recovery, cooking became my therapy and my source of strength. I developed a range of delicious, nutritious meals that not only nourished my body but also fueled my fight against cancer. Now, I want to share these recipes with you through Tinker’s Cooks.
On my channel, you’ll find a variety of cooking videos where I demonstrate how to prepare the meals that played a crucial role in my recovery. From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners, each recipe is designed to be both healthy and satisfying. Join me on this culinary journey and discover how good food can be a cornerstone of health and well-being.
