Two pieces of news: 1) I’m writing a book! 2) The book (Friday Night Chicken) just shortlisted for the Jane Grigson Trust Award! I’m totally bowled over, and feeling very honoured. Huge thanks to the judges, and congrats Felicity Spector and Poppy Okotcha, whose inspiring books I can't wait to read!
