Enya Ayisha Biography – Enya Ayisha Wiki

Enya Ayisha is a mapping driver from North Wales and a contestant on MasterChef UK 2024. She studied in Policing and Criminal Investigations in the University of Chester and then went on to do a Masters in Liverpool.

Enya worked as a waitress when she was younger. She told the BBC about her earliest cooking memory: “I will always remember baking with my Aunty Lilian from a very young age – around three or four. I used to love putting on my baking pinny, which I still have in a drawer, and baking lemon and chocolate butterfly cakes. My favourite part was the chocolate buttercream and lemon curd left in the bowl!

As I grew older I didn’t really have a sweet tooth so I focused my cooking on all of the savoury foods I love and learnt from watching my dad cook growing up.”

Describing her style of cooking, she said: “I’m a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to cooking and I always take pride in my presentation. I love hearing feedback on it, like “this looks too good to cut into or eat.

I like to make do with whatever ingredients I have between the cupboard and fridge and make something taste good. Or I’ll go to the supermarket reduced aisle and hope there’s a good bit of meat or fish in there and let my brain work a little to decide what dish to make.

I’m always challenging myself to make something from scratch, whether it be pasta, pastry, dipping sauces; or different cuisines like Indian, Thai, or Chinese. I think there are a few different influences on my cooking style. Overall, my cooking style comes from my dad and sisters – we all love cooking! My presentation is inspired a lot by a restaurant I worked at when I was younger as a waitress. I always appreciated the way dishes were plated up and I learnt a lot from that.”
