Bruce

Food writing, discovering food stories, meeting producers, chefs and food enthusiasts are all part of desire to inspire, inform my readers and fellow food lovers. I am a freelance writer, journalist and published author focusing on the international world of food and drink, culture and travel. In 2019 I graduated from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy with a Masters in Food Culture, Communication and Marketing. I am now a visiting Professor at the university teaching Food & Drink Writing. Based in London I travel widely, particularly across western Europe. I have chaired many conferences and meetings, spoken at conferences and events and often appear on radio and TV talking most about food, the business of food and being an entrepreneur. In 2017 I won an episode of the ITV (the UK-based national television channel) cooking competition show, 'Gordon Ramsay's Culinary Genius'. I took my children on holiday to Sicily with the prize money. As an experienced farmers' market manager and operator of a small marmalade/ preserves company, I am very familiar with the issues surrounding local food, farming, enterprise and the environment.

A bowl of Sri Lankan Coconut Dahl, Keralan Cabbage Thoran, with a chunk of Dhokla topped with a Bengali Tomato Chutney with a cup of sweet Masala Chai tea (not pictured) shared at Sevenoaks Bookshop was a flavoursome hit of warming spice and texture. Cooked in a backroom by cook and author Torie True just as this year’s Independent Bookshop Week was drawing to a close, these dishes can be found in the pages of Chilli & Mint, her new cookbook offering ‘Indian Home Cooking From A British Kitchen’. With close family ties to the region, Torie teaches Indian cookery and is a fellow member of the Guild of Food Writers. ⁣
