French baker, cook, author & former Great British Bake Off contestant

Raised in a small village in Brittany, Manon Lagrève grew up on a farm, where food was celebrated as the core of family life.

Having spent time travelling and living in London, in 2016 Manon's passion for cooking led her to create her own lifestyle blog, Manon's Little Kitchen, which has a focus on achievable, positive and simplistic baking for all abilities, all influenced by her French heritage and her travels.

In 2018 Manon entered The Great British Bake Off, reaching the Quarter Final. Since then, she has been sharing her creations online and now has over 160k followers on Instagram and over 118k followers on TikTok.

Manon has written two cookbooks to date, with a third due for publication in May 2026:

Et Voila! A simple French Baking Love Story (2023)
Chez Manon: Simple Recipes From A French Home Kitchen (2024)
La Saison: Over 80 Seasonal French Recipes, from a year in my kitchen (published May 2026)
