About me
A bit about me
After a career at the criminal bar, I retrained in pâtisserie at Le Cordon Bleu, and later in butchery at Walthamstow College.
I wrote A Half Baked Idea, which won the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Award, and Butter: A Celebration, which Nigella Lawson called ‘her dream book.’
I write for the Financial Times, delicious, the Telegraph, the Guardian, Slightly Foxed, TLS, the Times, and Waitrose magazine. In 2020, I was named the Guild of Food Writers Food Writer of the Year.
I am the Spectator’s cookery columnist and present their podcast, Table Talk, and write their food and drink newsletter, The Take Away.
I also run FEAST, catering high-end weddings, cooking for high-profile private clients, hosting themed supperclubs, and everything in-between.
What I can do for you
I can help you make your words work harder.
I love food, and I love writing. Words have the power to change how people look at the food you’re trying to sell: whether that’s a menu, product description, a recipe, or a story that needs telling.
My wide skills and knowledge base – home cooking, recipe development, classical cooking, restaurants, products, history, tone of voice – mean that whatever your business needs, I can bring your food story to life.
Drop me a line, and let’s see if we’d be a good fit.
