James Nathan

James Nathan is a barrister best known as the winner of the BBC's MasterChef 2008, having beaten Emily Ludolf and Jonny Stevenson in the grand final.[1]

Along with his wife Linsey Stroud, James was co-author of The Trailrider Guide - Spain: Single Track Mountain Biking in Spain.[2] Nathan practised criminal law in Bristol for two years before moving to Spain with the intention of opening a restaurant.[2] Unable to get a permit from the Spanish authorities, Nathan returned to the UK and applied for the MasterChef competition.[3]
