Amelia Christie-Miller

Having previously worked as a private chef before entering the food sustainability space, Amelia founded Bold Bean Co in May 2021, on a mission “to make you obsessed with beans, by giving you the best of beans”. The company soon became a firm favourite of chefs such as Yotam Ottolenghi, Thomasina Miers, Noor Murad and the Mob Kitchen team.

Bold Bean Co is a Certified B Corp, and is stocked in all major supermarkets as well as lots of independents across the country. As a young female entrepreneur, Amelia is a member of Buy Women Built, a campaign to mobilise consumers to buy from female-founded businesses. Amelia is the author of bestselling cookbook Bold Beans: Recipes to Get Your Pulse Racing (Kyle Books 2023), which was a Sunday Times bestseller, and has become a familiar face on national TV, with recent appearances on BBC Dragons’ Den and ITV This Morning.

In the last 12 months, Amelia was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by The Grocer in July 2025 and published her second cookbook, Full of Beans: Delicious Beany Recipes to Obsess Over (Kyle Books, October 2025), which also became a Sunday Times bestseller.
