Christopher’s recipe includes a never-before-seen twist on the UK classic, and provides him with the opportunity to go head-to-head with other chefs.

He said: “I love the idea of putting Yorkshire and Yorkshire pudding on the national stage. It was exciting to prepare my favourite dish for famous celebrities, but it’s the exposure of the dish itself and of the region I am from for which I am most pleased about.”

Learning and development manager Christopher won a Yorkshire pudding competition run by the Dean Clough Cookery School in Halifax two years running.

Shortly after his first win, he started a blog – www.YorkshirePudd.co.uk– which has been nominated for a best food blog award. He also hopes to develop cookery products.

Expert judges will scour the country for the best-loved recipe – which will be stocked by Marks & Spencer and earn the winner £20,000 cash.
