I have been writing about food for over 15 years. Articles have appeared in
the Daily Telegraph, Express, Evening Standard, Financial Times, Country
Living, Food Illustrated and The Dubliner. I have, over the years, written
daily and weekly recipe columns for the Evening Standard, Financial Times
and Irish Times.

Is there a common theme? Pursuit of the perfect food would be too simple a
way of describing it but it is about making food, its purchase and
preparation something of a priority.

This approach is followed in the books. Every one of them aimed at
encouraging the reader to shop seasonally, locally and often and prepare
food simply. They are about satisfaction, ease and accessibility.
