“People who love to eat are always the best people.” - Julia Child

My mum will tell you that I was the fussiest of eaters as a child, but in my adult life I’ve always been interested in food and drink - cooking, eating, devising recipes, drawing it, and writing about it. My love of food is a massive part of who I am.

I started my blog The Adventurous Glutton in 2010 as a way to document foods I hadn’t tried before. It has evolved to be a celebration of food and drink in and around Dorset where I live, and wherever my travels take me.

I also write about food and drink for publications including Dorset Magazine, Pier Journal and Hampshire Life, among others.

I’m a member of the Guild of Food Writers, a Judge Coordinator for the Great Taste Awards and a committee member for Highcliffe Food and Arts Festival.
