About this episode
In this episode of Food Rebels, AJ meets chef and author of Watt’s Cooking, Jon Watts, and finds out how discovering a passion for food and cooking, while serving time as a young offender transformed his life.
Jon takes AJ through his remarkable journey of culinary redemption from completing his Duke of Edinburgh award scheme while in custody; to his first job in Jamie’s Italian; to setting up his own food truck to show people how good a well-made falafel can really taste!
And that’s not all. Following a stint as a chef for the X-Factor production crew, he got the opportunity to write his own cookbook, which ALMOST put him off cooking for life!
A truly engaging and inspiring episode with some fascinating stories!
