She went to University in Mumbai where she became a fashion designer and started her own clothes label. In 2003, Chetna moved to Kent. Chetna’s creative baking combines her mum’s traditional Indian recipes and flavours with British bakes. She continues to impress Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry on The Great British Bake Off.
