Gordon Ramsay’s Daughter Tilly Says Her Younger Brother Oscar, 4, Is ‘Cooking Already’

Gordon Ramsay passed down his culinary talents to his daughter Matilda “Tilly” Ramsay (she joins him on this season of MasterChef Junior) — and it seems his son Oscar, 4, has a taste for cooking, too.

Tilly, 22, tells PEOPLE about the similarities between her younger self and Oscar.

“I remember watching [Gordon] work in the kitchen at home because he used to film quite a bit there,” says the psychology student. “And then he slowly started giving me the whisk or giving me the spoon and saying, ‘You need to measure something.’”

“I just remember having so much fun in there with him,” she adds. “And at this point I was like, ‘Wow, I really want to be like you one day.’”

Gordon and Tilly Ramsay both star in season 9 of ‘MasterChef Junior’.
Gordon and his wife, Tana also share daughter Megan, 25, twins Jack and Holly, 24, and son Jesse, 3 months. Tilly says that all of her older family members are “great” cooks, but she’s passing on the training Gordon gave her to her younger brother Oscar.

“I’ve got Oscar cooking already and he’s only four,” she laughs, recalling an instance last summer when she asked him to help her make pancakes. “I was teaching him how to do it, making him measure it out. It’s so great to start young and I think he really enjoyed it.”

Tilly is now bonding with her father over food in a whole new way.

“We are constantly sending each other new recipes on Instagram that we see and discussing them,” she says.

Their shared interest brought the pair together for MasterChef Junior‘s 9th season. The FOX cooking competition — which sees amateur chefs between the ages of 8 and 13 test out their skills in a series of culinary challenges for a $100,000 prize — airs on Monday night with Gordon hosting and Aarón Sánchez, Daphne Oz and Tilly as judges.
