Tilly Ramsay, the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, has steadily carved out her own path in the culinary and entertainment world. Known for her bubbly personality, sharp wit, and love of food, the 22-year-old television presenter recently opened up about her latest kitchen obsession, her most memorable fails, and the invaluable lessons she’s learned from her famous father.
One of Tilly’s current must-haves in the kitchen is her air fryer, a gadget she admits she’s been using “nonstop.” In a recent interview, she laughed about how nearly every meal she prepares ends up in the device. “I’m completely obsessed with my air fryer. It’s quick, easy, and honestly makes everything taste amazing. I don’t know how I ever cooked without it,” she confessed. From crispy potatoes to healthier versions of fried chicken, Tilly swears by the appliance for both speed and flavor.
Despite growing up in a household where Michelin-starred meals were the norm, Tilly is candid about her own kitchen blunders. She shared stories of failed bakes, undercooked dinners, and experiments that didn’t quite go to plan. “The truth is, I’ve had a lot of disasters in the kitchen,” she said with a laugh. “I once tried to make a soufflé and it completely collapsed. My dad came in and just shook his head—but then we laughed about it.”
Those moments of failure, however, have been important to her growth as a cook and entertainer. Tilly believes that mistakes are part of the process, and she uses them as fuel to get better. “You can’t be afraid to mess up. That’s something my dad has always told me—learn from the failure and keep going.”
Speaking of Gordon Ramsay, Tilly has been vocal about the best advice he’s given her, both in and out of the kitchen. While viewers may know him for his fiery temper and sharp critiques on shows like Hell’s Kitchen, Tilly insists her father has always been supportive and encouraging. “The best advice Dad gave me is to work hard, stay humble, and never stop learning. He’s tough because he wants the best for me, but he’s also my biggest cheerleader,” she explained.
Beyond cooking, Tilly has established herself as a media personality, starring in Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch on CBBC and competing on Strictly Come Dancing. She’s also active on social media, where her fun videos and approachable recipes have made her a favorite among Gen Z audiences.
For Tilly, the combination of embracing her kitchen mishaps, enjoying simple tools like the air fryer, and applying her father’s advice has set her on a unique path—one that blends family legacy with her own flair. As she continues to build her career, one thing is clear: she’s not trying to be Gordon Ramsay 2.0, but rather Tilly Ramsay, a star in her own right.
