Key Quote: "Popcorn is my favourite snack, salted popcorn, I can eat only popcorn for days and be fine."
Great British Baking Show Season 15
Curiosity for culture runs through Dylan’s veins and he loves to travel. He recently took a gap year travelling through Southeast Asia, exploring the food and meeting new people at every stop. He is an avid skateboarder and has a fascination for the way that ’90s PCs and vintage cars were built. With influence from his artistic mum, he has always loved to paint and will paint Japanese-inspired characters and cartoons on his t-shirts. Super-proud of his fusion roots – his mother is Indian and his father Japanese–Belgian – Dylan loves experimenting with sweet and spice in his baking. His presentation style is influenced by the beautiful Japanese bakes he tried on his travels and through following the work of French pâtissérie chefs on social media.
Dylan was open about his yearning to become a trainee chef in a leading restaurant and sure enough, by the time his season was airing, he was working in the kitchen at the Five Fields in Chelsea, London.
Nobody could have known that only a few months later, Five Fields would permanently close its doors.
Dylan is a hugely talented chef and is now working - and getting rave reviews - for a Gordon Ramsay restaurant "Petrus".
