Ben Lippett

Ben Lippett is a chef, food writer and recipe developer, and the powerhouse behind the hugely popular @dinnerbyben social media accounts (where he has accrued over 400,000 followers) and the How I Cook Substack, which currently ranks 20th on the global food and drink leaderboard. He’s a firm believer that one of the most important things you can do whilst cooking is ask why? Why am I adding salt now and not later? Why am I patting this chicken breast dry before I cook it? Why has my chocolate mousse split? How do certain flavours develop? Understanding the whys and hows behind your cooking is akin to holding the keys to the culinary kingdom and will ultimately make life in the kitchen a fulfilling and enjoyable one.
