I live in Oxfordshire with my husband, Jos, who is an artistic blacksmith. I am a cookery writer and food stylist, working on national magazines and cookery books. I grew up in the Peak District and still have family and friends there, and a real love for the area. We have two grown-up daughters and four grandchildren.
