Gregg Wallace is a successful vegetable grower who supplies many large restaurants in London with fresh produce from his farm. Born in Peckham, he started out as a London market trader on a vegetable stand in Covent Garden's vegetable market. In 1989 he started George Allan’s Greengrocers - a company that built up to an eventual turnover of £7.5 million and, as a result of his knowledge of the fruit and veg industry, he was invited to be on Radio 4 in 1997. He now runs his company from Secrets Farm and, seven years later, the much-loved Radio 4 programme Veg Talk is still running. In 2002 Gregg presented Saturday Kitchen and is presently writing a monthly column for Good Food and Olive magazine, as well as running a direct mail-order service from his farm. He is a keen food historian - and he also loves "snogging and pasta"!
hi I saw you on master chef tonight and you were great!
ali you are not chef that's why?
Who gave him the title of 'chef'? He grows veg for goodness sake, it takes years to earn the title CHEF and he has the cheek to stand there and put down qualified chefs food,even Michelle Roux has to look away when he has a 'taste' of the food, awful man trying to be something that he clearly is'nt. Get Michelle to judge masterchef full time get him off!
ll know
if i were a chef i certainly would not want a jumped up grocer casting aspersions on my food.He's not even a qualified chef for goodness sake! I suspect the contestants whose culinary creations he "judges" are of the same mind.
i love em
I love food & I love rugby union Do you coach union or league
I love how BIG a spoonful of food Gregg can get in his mouth. It's good to see some who enjoys food and it shows. He is fantastic.
if i had a dollar for every time Gregg put a spoonful of dessert in his mouth and went "whooaaaaa..." well, i'd have a lot of dollars... he's great to have on the food channel and out of everyone, he's the one who's comments make me laugh out loud when he taste's something he really likes - you can just tell he loves what he does... it's an atitude we should all have, that's for sure...
