I am an award-winning journalist and broadcaster from London. I love to tell stories, and here is my writing. Here are some BBC radio documentaries I made in Japan, America and Iceland. Here is my Guardian column. Here is my showreel. Here are my hospitality films. Oh, and here is my book. Sorry -- it's all a bit me, me, me.

When British Street Food were invited over the water to address the great and the good of Scandinavian Street Food it was a momentous day. It made the news. But one of the highlights of the trip for me (and there were many) was meeting a journalist colleague called Ingar Nilsson. One of the world’s leading experts on rhubarb. And wonderful company. She has sent this update over from her home town of Malmo in Sweden — tak Ingar. Clearly every future Ingar update will include a rhubarb angle….

Last night, delicious homemade rhubarb sausages were sizzling on the barbecue, and juicy pork belly came with a tangy apple and chilli glaze and an elderflower chutney. But the biggest crowd gathered round the stall where freshly-fried fish was paired with a sharp tartar sauce, crudités, cos lettuce and apple mint. I could feel a song coming on…”
