JON ASHTON

Celebrity chef Jon Ashton acquired his passion for cooking as a child in his Granny Ashton's cottage kitchen in Liverpool, England.  Later, he pursued his passion in culinary college.  After graduation, his wit, charisma and flair in the kitchen gave way to TV appearances, including Britain's nationally syndicated TV Dinners.
