He has been helping out in the kitchen since he was three years old, and is now teaching other kids how to cook for themselves, their friends and their families, via his social media platforms and in his first TV cooking series Cooking Buddies, which will launch on the CBBC channel in summer 2024.

Praise for Let’s Cook

[These] recipes are simple to follow and easy to make. It's a great one for budding chefs

The Sun

The meatballs are a parents’ dream, made with sneaky veg as well as beef and pork [. . . ] My verdict? I’m one proud mum. I reckon that at five he has more skills than some 25-year-olds – and that’s thanks to kids such as Buddy making cooking easy and accessible. There’s no stopping him now’

Sarah Rainey, Times Weekend

'Let’s Cook, takes children on an irresistible adventure, and dare I say is also a brilliant introduction for parents who haven’t had time or maybe the inclination to cook thus far.' ; 'His enthusiasm is infectious [. . .] this is a book to buy for all the family'
