Welcome

I am a journalist, writer and editor specialising in all matters domestic, from food, homes and gardens to modern manners, dogs and decluttering.

I write regularly for national newspapers and magazines, including a weekly French Exchange column in The Daily Telegraph, delicious magazine, Sainsbury’s magazine, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Independent, Country Life and BBC Good Food.

My latest book, Notes from a Small Kitchen Island was published on July 7th 2022 by Penguin Michael Joseph.

This is the book of my heart, filled with essays and recipes that made me just as I made them, over 40 years in the kitchen.

Available from Independent bookshops (via Bookshop.org), Waterstones and Amazon.

All images, text, and recipes on this site are owned by me or my husband Séan, unless otherwise stated. Please contact me if you’d like to reproduce any of them. I’m represented by Caroline Michel at Peters Fraser and Dunlop. Please contact me via PFD with book or broadcasting ideas, or contact me directly about freelance writing, recipes and recipe development.
