Guest Chef
The Pigott Brothers
Matthew (aged 28), Samuel (22) and Edward (25) Pigott were runners-up in the final of 2017’s The Big Family Cooking Showdown on BBC2. Masters of meat and outdoor cookery and influenced by cuisines from all over the world,
the Pigotts impressed the judges with their bold flavours and dishes such as
Jerk Chicken Kebabs and Flatbreads, Smoked Chilli Pork Tacos with Apple and Avocado Salsa, and Baked Beans with Bubble and Squeak Hash Browns, which judge Georgio Locatelli described as ‘The best cooked breakfast I have ever tasted’.
Originally from Banbury in Oxfordshire and now living in Manchester (Sam), London (Matt) and Birmingham (Ed) the Pigotts meet whenever they can to shop for ingredients and cook elaborate meals together. They specialise in food for sharing, and are particularly interested in Spanish, Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese and Indian cuisines. Dab hands at DIY, they also build their own cooking equipment such as barbecues and rotisseries.
