Tim Kinnaird at the BBC Good Food Show talking Macarons

Tim is the son of a doctor and a nurse, Tim went to medical school where he met his wife Rachel, who is also a doctor and with whom he has two children, Abi and Noah. While he loved working in medicine, Tim’s passion for cooking was a thread that ran throughout his life.

In 2009, Tim filled in an application for the TV programme Masterchef, was invited to audition and won a place on the show.

The experience of being on Masterchef 2010 was challenging and exciting and had Tim cooking amazing food in intense situations. Between the filming and the airing of the series, life carried on as usual – but when the show aired and Tim was a runner up in the final, everything changed.

Leaving his job at the Norwich and Norfolk University Hospital in February 2010, Tim started his business from his kitchen, perfecting his recipes for exquisitely delicious macarons, tarts, cakes and other treats.

Word spread and Tim soon found himself outgrowing his workspace – in September 2010 he moved to a larger kitchen.

With a current focus on the wholesale and online side of Macarons & More, Tim’s next challenge will be to open a shop in Norwich selling his cakes, macarons and treats.
