Alongside two Michelin stars, best-selling healthy eating books and a flourishing restaurant empire, Tom Kerridge can now count his own show among his already stellar career achievements.
And this time, wife Beth, who he met 22 years ago at a party while still a young sous chef in London, and son Acey, three, are coming along for the ride.
The latest episode of his BBC2 show Fresh Start sees the talented chef - who just five years ago battled an alcohol problem and being morbidly obese at 30 stone - introducing the world to the woman who has stuck by him through the long hours of restaurant service and his personal demons.

Kerridge, now 45, became dad to Acey, three, at the age of 43 with his wife sculptor Beth Cullen-Kerridge...both appear in his new series for BBC2 which is currently airing on Wednesday evenings - the two Michelin-starred chef and his wife met in 1997

The chef, who now has four restaurants in his growing empire, says he's 'mortified' to look at images of himself as he was... and says his 40th birthday proved the wake-up call he needed to lose 12 stone
Tin foil gate! Tom appeared on This Morning today after viewers complained that he'd misled them by telling them to use kitchen foil 'shiny side down' when cooking
The show, filmed in what's believed to be the family's swish open-plan home in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, revolves around the chef's three essential rules for healthier living.
Last night, he told viewers: 'There’s just no way round it, to make lasting changes, my families must follow my three rules to bossing the kitchen.
'One, plan their meals. Two, shop from a list. Three, be clever cooks by batch cooking home made ready meals and learning some quick and easy recipes.'
The 45-year-old chef's younger self might struggle to recognise the handsome host who's guiding eight families to a healthier lifestyle.
Just five years ago, Kerridge, who started out as a child actor but found his fortune in the kitchen after attending culinary college at 18, weighed in at 30 stone.
The chef said he decided he needed to go on a diet when he turned 40, fearing that he would die young if he didn't make a drastic change.
Beth, whose own career has been sidelined by the couple's pursuit of culinary success, told Get the Gloss she never minded her husband's weight, saying: 'If I had mentioned it, it would only make more problems for him, he would feel judged and unhappy.
'I knew it was unhealthy but he was the one who was going to have to do it. There was no way I was going to mention it because it was for him to want to do not for me to want him to do it, rightly or wrongly.
Tom managed to shed a remarkable 12 stone over a three-year period, going from 30 stone to 18 stone. He managed to shed the pounds by cutting carbs and alcohol out of his diet, and eating fewer calories.

Describing his feelings on how he looked before his transformation, the chef told the Sunday Times he felt: 'Mortified… I mean, it doesn’t even look like me. I was absolutely huge.'
Last year, the chef released a book entitled Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet: My Low-Carb, Stay-Happy Way To Lose Weight, which topped the non-fiction best-sellers chart.
Alongside food, alcohol had also become a demon. Recalling years of heavy drinking, he told Radio 4's Desert Island Discs: 'Alcohol had gained a grip. I have completely destroyed alcohol for myself. I'm untrustworthy with it. I was drinking colossal amounts.
'I would say I'm probably dependent on alcohol. I don't understand "a drink"'.

Kerridge's interest in food first took off when he began cooking for himself and his younger brother while his mother was at work
He added: 'I would always be the last man standing, driving it on. At the end of service I would order a pint of Negroni, just as a starter. I miss that guy, I miss the chaos and I miss the fun - but I can't. I worry about it all the time.'
TOM KERRIDGE SPARKS #TINFOILGATE ON TWITTER
The chef showed viewers how to use tin foil on his new BBC Two show Fresh Start and sent Twitter users into meltdown after explaining that you should put the shiny side face down.
In the show, Kerridge guides eight families and helps them completely change the way they eat through a six-step, 12-week plan.
However, the most noteworthy part of tonight's episode was when the chef suggested that wrapping food with the shiny side up was wrong.
The 45-year-old chef made the claim about the baking foil during the second episode of his BBC Two show Fresh Start, sending viewers to Twitter in shock
His claim led to stunned viewers taking to Twitter to express their shock.
Kerridge said that the shiny side is more reflective, making it better and more effective at keeping food warm.
On Twitter, one user commented: ' Tom Kerridge on BBC2 just said tin foil always put shiny side down. I always have it shiny side up! Have I been doing it wrong all these years?'
A second user wrote: 'I've been using tin foil upside down for 40 years.'
Reynold's Kitchen, which produces different types of aluminium foil, says on its website: 'With standard and heavy duty foil, it’s perfectly fine to place your food on either side so you can decide if you prefer to have the shiny or dull side facing out.
'The performance of the foil is the same, whichever side you use.'
However, he also said his 'colossal' boozing helped him to success in the kitchen and on TV, saying: 'I don’t regret that period at all. Alcohol became a huge release for driving the business forward, to winning two Michelin stars. It always proved this massive release of energy, of pressure.'
After ditching drink and losing weight, Kerridge and his wife Beth Cullen-Kerridge embarked on another new project, having a child.
The couple met and fell in love in 1997 at a mutual friend’s birthday party while Kerridge was a sous chef at Gary Rhodes's London restaurant and Beth was establishing her career as a sculptor.
Their son Acey was born on 21st December 2015 and the family live in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
