He’s a chef, an author, a presenter - most notably of one of my childhood favourites - Ready Steady Cook. It’s Ainsley Harriott.&nbsp;</p><p>Ainsley first trained as a chef in London, but it might surprise you that before becoming a TV star, he was part of pop duo The Calypso Twins, releasing a hit record in the nineties. He soon started presenting Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook and Ready Steady Cook, and spin-off shows around the world. His numerous cookbooks have sold over 2 million copies globally, and he continues to light up our TV screens today - this time with his new ITV series, Ainsley’s Caribbean Kitchen.&nbsp;</p><p>Destination recap:</p><ul><li>Jamaica, Caribbean</li><li>Kew Gardens, London, England</li><li>Niederau, Austria</li><li>Interrailing in Europe&nbsp;</li><li>Buenos Aires, Argentina</li><li>Wimbledon Common, London, England&nbsp;</li><li>Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon, England</li><li>Dominica, Caribbean</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ainsleys-Caribbean-Kitchen-Delicious-feelgood/dp/1529104254\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ainsley’s Caribbean Kitchen, Delicious Feelgood Cooking from the Sunshine Islands</a> is out now. </p><p>Thank you so much for listening.
