I wrote extensively for the Guardian between 2015 and 2018, in my Novel Recipes column. I have also written for Pit Magazine about sausage sizzles, the Pool about mental health and running (and about dungarees), for delicious about loving February, for Waitrose Magazine about parties, for Sainsbury’s Magazine about food for your freezer, for the Oxford English Dictionary about cheesecakes, and for Stylist, Food52, Emerald Street, Skylife Magazine, Oh Comely!, and Anthropologie Magazine.
