Bio
Gregg Wallace is an English fruit and vegetable expert, writer and media presenter best known as one of the judges of the BBC cooking reality competitions Masterchef Goes Large (2005-2010), Celebrity MasterChef (2006-2010) and MasterChef: The Professionals, since 2008.
Wallace is a successful vegetable grower who supplies many large restaurants in London with fresh produce from his farm. Born in Peckham, he started out as a London market trader on a vegetable stand in Covent Garden's vegetable market.
In 1989 he started George Allan's Greengrocers - a company that built up to an eventual turnover of £7.5 million and, as a result of his knowledge of the fruit and veg industry, he was invited to co-present Veg Talk on BBC Radio 4 in 1997.
In 2002 Gregg presented Saturday Kitchen and he is a contributor to BBC Good Food and Olive magazines, as well as running a direct mail-order service from his farm.
He is a keen food historian, loves cooking for his kids and now runs his company from Secretts Farm in Surrey.
