I am a food writer, cook and presenter.
My debut book The Vinegar Cupboard (published in March 2019) won the Jane Grigson Trust Award, and in 2020 won two awards at the Guild of Food Writers Awards; was shortlisted for the André Simon Food and Drink Awards; and won ‘Debut Cookery Book’ at the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards.
My third cookbook was published in March 2024: Seasoning - How to cook and celebrate the seasons
The book in between those was Borough Market: The Knowledge - published in October 2022, and shortlisted at the 2023 Guild of Food Writers Awards. My other extensive work with Borough Market includes as a feature writer, recipe developer, demonstration cook, and host of their hugely popular Cookbook Club. As presenter and curator of live or broadcast events I host Borough Market’s ‘Borough Talks’ podcast series - featuring Melissa Hemsley, Kimberley Wilson, Tim Lang, Tom Parker-Bowles and more - and have hosted for online cookalongs with Yotam Ottolenghi amongst others.
I am Co-Director of the British Library’s ‘Food Season’, curating and presenting talks and events across food issues, culture and writing.
I’ve written on food and drink for publications such as the Daily Telegraph, Independent and Country Life; commercial clients include brands such as Amazon Fresh, Aspall, Doves Farm and Lurpak. Broadcast work includes the recent Channel 5 ‘Inside…’ series.
