A Food and Words Journal

A fortnightly roundup of thoughts, eats and explorations. In the ‘Editorial,’ I delve into issues and ideas that have resonated with me; in ‘Eat,’ I offer one simple recipe to try for the week, or bookmark for later; and in ‘Explore,’ I review a book, album, show, website, anything that has grabbed my attention and deserves a little love. Join me every two weeks for a short and sweet (or savoury) wander through some of the good - and meaningful - things that make life worthwhile.

Monthly essays and a recipe that takes a deeper look at the histories, people, and processes behind the things we eat. Food tells us who we are. It not only connects us to the past, but also reaches forwards as we search for identity and think about the world we want our children to inherit. With an historical research focus, these food stories aim to offer new insights into our many rich, contentious, and exciting culinary narratives.

Browse two albums of photographs - Food and Florals - that offer an introduction to my interests and stylistic approaches. The albums will be updated intermittently to incorporate new work.
