Shivi Ramoutar’s Television Comeback

The 3rd series of ITV’s Jimmy and Shivi’s Farmhouse Breakfast resumes in January 2026, marking an exciting return for celebrity chef Shivi Ramoutar to British television screens. Dubbed by The Guardian as the “Caribbean Food Supremo” and by BA’s The Club magazine as the “Queen of Contemporary Caribbean Cooking”, Shivi has made it her mission to share the vibrant flavours of Caribbean cuisine with audiences across the UK.

A Culinary Journey Rooted in Heritage

Born in Trinidad, Shivi grew up surrounded by the salty beaches of the Caribbean, the grassy Leicestershire countryside, and the eclectic buzz of London. Her diverse upbringing has shaped her unique culinary approach, blending traditional Caribbean recipes with contemporary British cooking methods. She left a career in Law to pursue her passion for food, and has since become one of the most recognizable faces in modern Caribbean cooking.

Television Success and Food Advocacy

Shivi Ramoutar and Jimmy Doherty, hosts of ITV’s Farmhouse Breakfast, are on a mission to educate children in the kitchen. Food provenance and sustainability are at the heart of the pair’s show. Beyond her television work, Shivi has been the TV Chef on ITV’s Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show, Garraway’s Good Stuff and on Martin and Roman Kemp’s series, Martin and Roman’s Weekend Best.

Published Works and Culinary Influence

She has written two cookbooks, Caribbean Modern: Recipes from the Rum Islands, and The Ice Kitchen: Fast Fresh Food to Fill Your Family And Your Freezer. Additionally, she is a Food Hero for P&O Cruises, alongside Marco-Pierre White, José Pizarro, Kjarten Skjelde and Olly Smith, creating a Caribbean-inspired menu for the onboard restaurant.

Looking Ahead

As Shivi Ramoutar returns to television in 2026, her influence on British food culture continues to grow. Her commitment to sustainability, food education, and bringing bold Caribbean flavours to family kitchens makes her a vital voice in contemporary cooking. For viewers seeking inspiration beyond traditional British fare, Shivi’s return offers a colourful gateway to Caribbean culinary traditions reimagined for the modern home.
