The research also revealed that 83% of Brits are open to new food experiences from different countries.
Kimberly Wyatt, Celebrity Masterchef Winner 2020, said: “Whilst I already love to cook - like many others I’ve definitely been spending more time in the kitchen over the last few months - making family meals and getting everyone involved to keep it fun!
“Living a sustainable life is really important to our family, so we’ve also been using a lot of the fruit and vegetables we grow in our garden for ingredients.”
