Gorgeous and talented foodie Gizzi Erskine, a leading light in the crossover between food and style, is best known for being the presenter of Channel 4's Cook Yourself Thin and an author of the massively popular book by the same name. Gizzi has appeared as GMTV's EASY SUMMER FOOD expert and as a regular contributing presenter on Sky One's TASTE. Her take on food is edgy and refreshing, and her approach has struck a real chord with the public.
Many people are very surprised to hear that she had a career as a body piercer before finishing a full diploma course at Leith's School of Food and Wine in 2003. She went on to win a placement at BBC Good Food magazine, where she started to establish herself as a food writer and stylist. After over 4 years in the industry, Gizzi has contributed to Marie Claire, Elle USA, Arena, FHM, In Style, First magazine and many more.
Gizzi writes a monthly column for Company Magazine, titled 'Gizzi's Kitsch-en'. Every issue she shows us inventive ways to make cooking cool, and easy!
She was recently seen every Tuesday morning presenting her own mini-series on ITV flagship daytime show THIS MORNING. She will be back on the show next month with some more inspiring and mouth-watering recipes for you to try.
Her beautiful new book, GIZZI'S KITCHEN MAGIC, is out now (published by Virgin). It's the new technique based food bible for foodies young and old and there are over 200 straight forward and delicious recipes to choose from.
The hit US show, IRON CHEF, hosted by Olly Smith was recently aired on C4 and had Gizzi as one of the guest judges. The show’s format was fast and furious – Iron Man meets Master Chef where contestants battled it out in the kitchen against some of the top chefs in the country. The US series included appearances from Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Caleb Followill from The Kings of Leon.
Cook Yourself Thin is back with Gizzi as the only presenter this series. Continuing with the idea that we can still enjoy delicious food but shed the pounds at the same time, catch her Monday to Friday on C4 at 2.55pm.
