Tilly Ramsay, the daughter of renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, is making waves in the culinary world with her new cooking show, “Dish It Out,” on Prime Video. This journey seems almost destined, considering her upbringing in a family that values cooking. Despite her dad’s celebrity status, Tilly has carved out her niche, both in the kitchen and on television.
Raised in Wandsworth, South West London, Tilly, whose full name is Matilda, is one of six siblings. Her passion for cooking was evident from a young age, inspired by observing her father in the kitchen. However, Gordon Ramsay’s guidance was anything but harsh. Describing her father’s approach, Tilly mentions it was more about involvement and encouragement than critique.
Tilly’s commitment to honing her culinary skills led her to the University of Nottingham, where she earned a degree in psychology before pursuing formal culinary training at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, the same school where Gordon Ramsay himself studied. Her determination to learn from the best is a testament to her genuine love for cooking.
In addition to her culinary education, Tilly’s television experience is notable. Emerging from her father’s shadow, she appeared on shows such as “MasterChef Junior” and “Gordon Ramsay’s Home Cooking,” and even hosted her own CBBC show, “Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch.” In 2023, she returned to “MasterChef Junior,” but this time as a judge alongside her father and others. Tilly reflects on this opportunity as a dream come true, combining her passion for cooking with the dynamics of a competitive cooking show.
“Dish It Out” marks Tilly’s most significant role on screen yet. The series features Tilly collaborating with celebrity chefs and social media personalities to craft innovative dishes. The debut episode showcases her teaming up with her father to elevate a French croque madame, alongside episodes featuring TV host Clinton Kelly and influencer Poppy O’Toole. The show is not just about cooking; it explores current food trends, with Tilly adding her unique twist.
“Dish It Out” is available to stream on Prime Video and Apple TV, with new episodes released regularly. Gordon Ramsay expressed his pride on social media, emphasizing Tilly’s growth and accomplishments in the culinary world.
Tilly Ramsay’s journey from a curious child in the kitchen to a culinary star demonstrates that with passion, dedication, and a willingness to learn, anything is possible. Her ability to blend traditional skills with modern trends positions her as an exciting new voice in the world of food television.
