Lindsey Bareham

Cookery writer Lindsey Bareham will reveal the secrets of the perfect Cornish pasty at Port Eliot this year. Lindsey stumbled into journalism after a chance meeting with one of the bosses of Time Out. She made her name as their consumer editor and restaurant critic, then writing a daily recipe column for the Evening Standard, which she did for eight years. She now writes a similar Dinner Tonight column for The Times T2 section, contributes a monthly food column to SAGA magazine and is a regular contributor to Radio 4′s Woman’s Hour.

Lindsey has written a dozen popular cookery books including In Praise of the Potato, A Celebration of Soup, The Big Red Book of Tomatoes and Just One Pot and The Fish Store, a family cookbook set in Mousehole, Cornwall. She’s also author of Pasties, an exploration and love affair with our favourite meal-on-the-hoof and collaborated with Simon Hopkinson to write The Prawn Cocktail Years and Roast Chicken and Other Stories, voted The Most Useful Cookbook of All Time by chefs and food writers. She loves her readers to “get stuck in rather than regard good food as the preserve of chefs and foodies”.

“Lindsey Bareham is one of those food writers - like Elizabeth David or Jane Grigson before her - whose books have the power to change the way people cook and eat”
– The Sunday Times”

“For practicality, erudition and economy you should turn to Lindsey Bareham.”
– The Independent
