Dipa Jakhu

Dipa appeared on series one of Britain's Best Home Cook. She is a Civil Servant from Wolverhampton, who was interested in cooking from an early age and by the age of 11 was making curries.

Dipa says her father’s Kenyan heritage and mother’s Indian heritage is her inspiration and she loves cooking with fresh spices. She never uses a cook book and relies on her instincts, simple ingredients and straightforward methods to prepare dishes for her husband and three children.
