Reluctant blower of my own trumpet, I am an experienced editor, writer, broadcaster and creative event organiser with impressive contacts across the international restaurant industry. I spent a decade working in restaurants in London and the US – everything from kitchen porter to restaurant manager – before pursuing a career as a journalist. As a journalist I have worked in print as a restaurant critic, on radio as a reporter and launched magazines as an editor. I have also had two books published and am currently working on my third.
