Borough Talks: What Makes A Good Cookery Writer?

August 14, 2015

At the second Borough Talks debate, we discussed whether cookery writing is changing in a world dominated by Instagram, blogs, Twitter and the increasing digitalisation of content. From Nigella Lawson to Jamie Oliver, it's evident that food publishing is evolving. Taking place in the grandest food stage of the capital and with a star-studded panel, this informative talk taught us the tricks of the trade.

Panellists included:
- Mark Hix: chef, restaurateur and award-winning food writer.
- Stephanie Jackson: Publishing Director at Octopus Books
- Meera Sodha: cook, food writer and author of Made In India
- Ed Smith: food writer, and author of award-winning blog Rocket & Squash
- Moderator: Giles Webster, former owner of The Coach & Horses in Clerkenwell
