Food and wine writing

I am a food, drink and wine writer with experience both in-house and as a freelance food journalist. I specialise in Welsh food and culture and publish a popular Substack newsletter called The Welsh Kitchen. I also have a particular interest in Spanish food and wine and write regularly on the subject. I'm a member of the Guild of Food Writers and a judge for the Guild of Fine Food's Great Taste Awards.

Bylines: Vittles, National Geographic Traveller Food, The Nudge, Evening Standard, and Metropolitan by Eurostar.

It's the last day of #Movember. It turns out that I can actually grow facial hair! A huge diolch yn fawr to everyone that's donated so far. There's still time to donate if you'd like. Just head to the link in my bio. The question is now... do I keep the moustache?

It's #movember day 1, and I'm going to try to grow

It's #movember day 1, and I'm going to try to grow a moustache for the month. One of my first journo jobs was working for Tesco Beauty writing all about men's grooming, including lots of pieces about Movember. Big thanks to the fabulous @karenacallen for giving me the opportunity to write back then. And yet, I've always found it tricky to grow facial hair and have never done it, so wish me luck!

All that Welsh cake making paid off. Does this make me an actual professional Welshman now?
