Flabbergasted and delighted to have won the Jane Grigson Trust Award 2024. It was a wonderful evening and I'm so grateful to the judges for putting their trust in me, and against such tough competition, too! Now the hard work begins...

We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Jane Grigson Trust Award for 2024 is Moveable Feasts: Paris in Twenty Meals by @Chris_Newens, which will be published by @ProfileBooks in 2025.

Very excited to read this!

Absolute delight to meet some lovely booksellers this morning on GH’s maiden proof drop! Thanks for having us 💚💚 (more to come so anyone who wants a proof that we’ve missed- slide into my DMs 😏)



Absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for the Jane Grigson Trust Award. And in such impressive company. Already picking out what to wear for the ceremony.

Congratulations to Anna Ansari, Nicola Lamb and @Chris_Newens who are shortlisted for the #janegrigsontrustaward 2024 for their debut books about food and drink.

A few years back, I took part in Poland's National pilgrimage to Czestochowa. It was, without doubt, one of the wildest experiences of my life, and now I've written about it for TravelMag. travelmag.com/articles/seeki…


Just finished @ElizWinkler's "Shakespeare Was a Woman", which, in exploring all sides of the authorship debate, poses questions that reach far beyond Shakespeare, and suggests a vast under-researched area of study to one of the most written about people who ever lived. Brilliant!

Never dreamt I’d find myself on top of Alastair Campbell. One of the few claims I make in #herecomesthefun is that watching Question Time is anything but. So here’s a question for @RestIsPolitics and its twin towers @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK - IS POLITICS FUN?

This week, in a We'll Always Have Paris first @RKapelkeDale, @NafkoteTamirat, and I dive into a song: "faux European waltz" Where Do You Go To (My Lovely). If you've ever wondered who Marie Claire would be in 2023, look no further! alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/whe…


This week on the pod @NafkoteTamirat tells @RKapelkeDale and me all about Josephine Baker and her love affair with Paris itself. Particularly proud of this one. It's a wild, inspiring ride. alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/jos…


When I was 18, I directed a Hi8 movie titled 'Too Bold, Too Beautiful'. A satire of Hollywood complete with jump cuts and lines made up on the fly. This week on the pod, @RKapelkeDale, @NafkoteTamirat and I discover Jean-Luc Godard got there first. alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/bre…


Existentialist breakfast circa 2023.

Like sex, cinema, and '68? Tune in to listen to @RKapelkeDale and I discussing The Dreamers. alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/ste…


In which @RKapelkeDale, @NafkoteTamirat, and I talk about Miles Davis, Juliette Gréco, and the subject of cool, with digressions on Adam Levine, and whether he ever got to see the booty. alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/ste…


This week in We'll Always Have Paris, @RKapelkeDale , @NafkoteTamirat, and I talk about the relationship between Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Questions answered: is it better to be a genius or facilitate geniuses (genii?). alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/ste…


Just finished the brilliant The Naked Don't Fear the Water by @mattaikins Yet another astounding book from the excellent @FitzcarraldoEds, a publishing company that may be one of the best things about the UK right now. theguardian.com/books/2022/oct…


Paris is burning, and it’s great content. #Paris


While a trash-filled Paris burns, why not tune in to hear what @RKapelkeDale, @NafkoteTamirat , and I have to say about Jean-Pierre Jeunet's fairytale vision of the city? alwaysparispod.com/episodes-1/ame…
