“I was a young teenager from a middle-class family. I wasn’t homeless by choice – it was just circumstance,” MasterChef judge and author Jock Zonfrillo tells The Big Issue in the new edition. “You can find yourself homeless for a whole variety of reasons, and you don’t need to be from poverty, you don’t need to have had some dramatic life event to find yourself in that situation. It’s hard.”
In his Letter to My Younger Self, the Glasgow-born chef also reveals his battle with addiction, his obsession with food and cooking – and how his nonno taught him there’s no such thing as a good habit.
