Overview
- Baty, who was crowned Thursday, defeated finalists Luke Emmess and Mark O’Brien in a three-course cook-off.
- His menu reworked a prawn cocktail with langoustine for his mother, a truffled chicken roulade with fries for his late father, and a Brandy Alexander dessert for his partner’s family.
- Judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Matt Tebbutt called the dishes bold and from the heart, with Tebbutt praising the main as an absolute winner.
- The final week included a trip to Brunico in Italy’s South Tyrol, where the trio cooked a lunch service at Norbert Niederkofler’s three‑Michelin‑star Atelier Moessmer.
- The Carlisle‑born, self‑taught private chef now based in Whitefield runs The Wandering Cumbrian, and the win raises his profile after seven weeks of standout cooking.
