Peter Andrew Biography – Peter Andrew Wiki

Peter Andrew is a self-taught cook, floor fitter, and a contestant on MasterChef UK 2025. The Staffordshire native was first interested in cooking in his early 20s. His style of cooking is “traditional, taking inspiration from locally-sourced, wild produce that includes fish and game.”

Speaking about his earliest cooking memory, Peter told the BBC: “My mum is a great cook and my grandparents were always baking. I was very lucky at home; my mum always cooked really well and in particular a Sunday lunch. My cooking nowadays ties back to what my mum did when we were younger – traditional home-cooked food. My dad would often go to the butcher’s on the weekend.”

Asked about his favourite ingredient to cook with and why, the home cook said: “Wild game like pigeon and pheasant has a beautifully distinctive flavour so I think that tops the list of favourite ingredients. It’s also a healthy choice and tastes incredible when cooked simply, especially over open coals.”
