I'm an award-winning writer for a wide range of outlets including The Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, BBC.com, Delicious, Harpers Wine & Spirit, Food & Travel and Restaurant, as well as late lamented titles like Sunday Times Travel Magazine and Imbibe.
In addition to print and online editorial, I've provided commercial content for many major companies including Remy Martin and Waitrose.
I have contributed to several books including the BBC series title Plants: From Roots To Riches (John Murray) and Ultimate Food Journeys (Dorling Kindersley), and broadcast on both TV and radio.
