Best Home Cook winner 2020: Suzie Arbuthnot
Suzie Arbuthnot won Best Home Cook in 2020.
The accountant from Northern Ireland beat Sarah Woods and Georgia May Salamat after her roast dinner impressed the judges.
Suzie has two children and juggles looking after them with running her accountancy firm from home.
First of all, Suzie started cooking when she was young and used to help out at her family’s Chinese takeaway.
In the final, her three course meal consisted of goat’s cheese and beetroot tartlet, a roast chicken dinner, with a triple-layered sticky toffee sponge and almond ice cream to finish off.
Finally, Suzie now hosts her own TV show Suzie Lee’s Home Cook Heroes, which is available to watch on iPlayer.
In the second series, Angela Hartnett replaced Dan Doherty.
Is there a prize?
There is no prize for winning Best Home Cook – just the joy of winning.
The show’s terms and conditions state “no prize or reward (cash or otherwise) will be awarded to the competition winner for participation in the programme”.
Both Best Home Cook winners have gone on to make a success of their cooking careers off the back of winning the show.
Will the series return?
BBC One has not yet confirmed the return of Best Home Cook, or Celebrity Best Home Cook – but they’d be daft not to recommission it.
Furthermore, it’s a Covid-secure format and viewers love it.
The final of Celebrity Best Home Cook airs on Wednesday February 17 2021.
