Product Information

At first he thought someone was pranking him. He said: "I was going about my day and was approached from HP custom contents, who saw my videos and asked if I want to create a cookbook. You see videos where people need expensive ingredients and tools to make their videos look all good but I thought to just make videos of nice, wholesome food being cooked. By day, he sells nuts and bolts for a living, but by night, he’s an internet cooking sensation behind Britain's latest culinary hit. Just two years ago, Mitch Lane, from Wolverhampton, didn’t even know what TikTok was. “I thought it was just a load of people prancing around and general rubbish like that,” he admits. So what does Mitch love so much about cooking? “The eating part,” he says laughing. “To be honest, I do find it quite therapeutic in some ways. I like to take my time and enjoy the process.”
