Hi, I’m Katy.

I’m a London-based freelance writer and editor of all things food, wine and farming with an emphasis on social and environmental justice issues in food.

My work’s appeared in Bon Appetit, SLOP, Metro UK, HuffPost, Cherry Bombe, Chicago Tribune and Fifty Grande among others. In 2024, I was a finalist for the London Independent Story Prize for my short story, ‘Dear Julia, London Fields’.

I am a passionate advocate for regenerative food ways, organic farming and food system reform. With a background in cooking, my insatiable curiosity and passion for food has led to me work in kitchens and on farms across the world.

I’m also the editor-in-chief of Companion, a food & culture magazine from GAIL’s Bakery.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Companion is a brand new food & culture magazine from the Creative Studio at GAIL’s Bakery. Our first issue centred around humanity’s most sacred and fundamental food: bread. As editor-in-chief, I conceptualised the theme, commissioned contributors and edited content on top of writing several long-form and short-form pieces.

We explored the terroir of wheat, visited a prison bakery in Brixton and spoke to Britain’s ‘Sourdough Queen,’ Vanessa Kimbell about baking for mental and physical health. There is a poem about Nigerian Agege bread, a historical deep dive about the industrialisation of British bread and a photo essay capturing the biodiverse beauty of a regenerative wheat farm. Not to mention original recipes for stale bread chocolate cake, seasonal vegetarian sandwiches and a vegan cookie made with barley flour. And so much more! GET A COPY >>
