About Jon Watts

Jon Watts is a professional chef, recipe creator, and influential social media figure whose journey from a troubled youth to a celebrated culinary personality is nothing short of inspiring. As a teenager, Jon found himself in serious trouble and was sentenced to six and a half years in a young offenders’ institute. Determined not to fall into the cycle of reoffending, Jon took every opportunity available to him during his time in custody. It was there that he discovered his passion for cooking, a skill that would change his life.

While in custody, Jon became the first inmate to complete all three Duke of Edinburgh awards, showcasing his determination to turn his life around. After his release, he secured a job at one of Jamie Oliver’s renowned restaurants, where he honed his skills and began to develop his own culinary identity. This experience gave him the foundation he needed to branch out on his own.

Jon has since built a strong personal brand, gaining national exposure through his vibrant social media presence and television appearances, including spots on ITV’s This Morning. His approachable, down-to-earth style has won him a large following, with people drawn to both his delicious recipes and his compelling story of redemption.

Beyond the world of food, Jon is dedicated to using his platform to inspire others. He shares his personal journey with diverse audiences, from corporate settings to at-risk young people, offering a message of hope, resilience, and the power of second chances. Jon’s story is a testament to how determination and passion can create profound personal transformation.
