Grossman graduated from the Boston University (B.A. History) before coming to Britain to study at the London School of Economics (M.Sc.Econ), where he is currently a member of the Council and the Court of Governors. He went on to become a journalist for Harpers & Queen and The Sunday Times (UK). He has since presented Masterchef, a competitive cooking programme, and Through the Keyhole, a prurient programme examining the homes of minor celebrities. His Bostonian accent sounds jarring to many British people and is often parodied.
