Lesley Waters

Lesley Waters (born April 3, 1961) is an English celebrity chef. She regularly appears on such cookery programmes as Ready Steady Cook, and is currently one of the featured chefs on This Morning.

London born, she studied French Cuisine at Ealing College for three years, before cooking in top hotels, and winning awards including a scholarship to the Hotel Intercontinental in Dusseldorf. She then joined Prue Leith's restaurant, where she was promoted to senior chef. She then worked as a freelance corporate chef and caterer for government officials before joining Leith’s School of Food and Wine as an instructor, rising to head teacher.

Waters started in television in 1989 on various cable TV shows, before "Ready Steady Cook" and "This Morning".

After marriage to photographer Tim, and the birth of her first child son Isaac, the pair decided to raise their family and second child (Scout after a character in "To Kill a Mockingbird"), away from London. With Tim coming from Devon and Waters' love of Thomas Hardy’s novels, they bought a 16th century manor house in Evershot, Dorset from punk singer and actress Toyah Willcox and her husband Robert Fripp. The house is now the base for Waters' cookery school.
