Graham Hornigold, a pastry chef and co-owner of a London doughnut chain, faced a challenging upbringing marked by an unstable family and a difficult relationship with his father. In 2020, on the cusp of becoming a father himself, he unexpectedly received an email from his long-lost mother, which brought back memories of his past. Hornigold reflects on the choices he made in response to his hardships, opting to utilize them as fuel for his ambition rather than succumbing to bitterness, ultimately leading him to pursue a successful culinary career.
Hornigold reflects on his difficult childhood and the options one has when facing adversity: 'Either you allow life to consume you and become bitter, or you utilise those challenges.'
When confronted with his past, Hornigold thought, 'someone is taking the piss,' unsure if he should believe the email from his long-lost mother.
