I write about food and drink.

Food and drink journalist and copywriter

I write about food for The Telegraph, OcadoLife and other brands, and I write copy for food and drink businesses. I’ve interviewed Raymond Blanc on British gastronomy, met the brewer who believes a pale ale can change the world and stood in a Cumbrian distillery while someone explained why great gin is mostly about leaving things out. The same rule applies to food writing.

Just like Grandma used to make

Ask any Italian what their favourite food is and they’ll most likely say their nonna’s home cooking. Their recipes are based on traditions learned from their grandmothers that transcend generations, with hearty and comforting dishes that will nourish, satisfy and, most importantly, bring the family together around the table.
