Meet Travis
Travis Francis has always relied on his mum to cook
My initial thoughts when beginning the show were to try something new and impress my mum and I really think I achieved both. Also, I wanted to learn how to cook for myself so later on in life I could be a great independent cook!
Throughout the filming I was nervous at times, but with Lorraine’s guidance and calm words I felt settled. She really made me believe that I could do anything in the kitchen, which was a big benefit.

Medical student Francis is a complete fish out of water in the kitchen.
Being part of the show has shown me a lot of things about myself i.e. that I really do work well under pressure. It has also shown me that I really enjoy a good challenge. I was also very surprised that I was able to make such great dishes so quickly.
My advice would be to have absolute confidence in your ability to learn and create and you’ll be fine.Trasvis Francis
I was very happy with the way things went in terms of how it all came together at the final meal. I was so happy to see mum enjoyed my cooking and really pleased with how it all looked when served. (It looked great!)
I feel a lot more at home in the kitchen and I’m not afraid to ask questions and try things out. I will definitely be doing more cooking without a doubt.
One of the most useful things she showed me was how to be a clean and tidy cook because at first I was very messy!
Since the show I have been experimenting with pastry and have made lattices on three occasions. I'm also going to try slow roast pork with one of my cousin's recipes.
My advice would be to have absolute confidence in your ability to learn and create and you’ll be fine.
