WHAT I DO
The right story, in the right context, for the right people. I've been inventing, shaping, telling and delivering those stories to global audiences for over 10 years. I'm a creative, writer and strategic thinker, I've worked with some of the world's biggest brands, and I'm always looking for the next story to tell.
COMMERCIAL
I've been a Creative Director at some of the UK's best agencies - R/GA, AMV, VCCP, Publicis and others. Here's some of my favourite work.
WRITING
I write about food and drink - features, reviews and odd stuff that catches my attention - for Root+Bone in London, Bon Appetit in the US and anyone else who'll have me.
"Beautiful and life-affirming" - Guy Garvey
Bangladesh and Bacon Naans
Why do the spicy, rich flavours of a former colony delight our traditionally conservative UK palates? How does politics affect the business of Indian cuisine? And just how authentic is a bacon naan?
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Brighton
There are many fine places for you to eat in Brighton, but here’s my favourite three.
The Restaurant at Guantanamo Bay
It wove a spell, conjuring up an imaginary rush of flavour that could push the men out of their cells, settle them around a table, and let them feast in freedom.
PODCAST
I've been producing and hosting the Root+Bone podcast since 2019. We find the people we love the most from UK food culture - cooks, chefs, producers, writers and more - then invite ourselves over.
They cook a meal that really means something to them, and while they do it, we talk. We've had some brilliant and revealing chats with Vivek Singh from Cinnamon Club, Richard H Turner from Hawksmoor and Blacklock, and heard the worst customer behaviour story ever from Kricket founder Will Bowlby.
We're gearing up for Season 2 right now - if there's someone you dream of hearing on it, let me know.
