Fran Warde has worked all over the globe, from mountains to high seas and beach barbecues, all in the pursuit of culinary perfection. Raised in the rural West Country and an enthusiastic cook as a child, she studied hotel and catering management and after an eighteen-month stint at The Café Royale, headed first to the mountains and then onto Australia. Whilst there, she connected with the Australian approach to cookery and fresh ingredients, even spending time on a prawn trawler to learn all there was to be known about fish and seafood. She returned to England and set up a restaurant in London, later moving into catering. She has also set up her own successful cookery school.
She is the co-author, with bestselling novelist Joanne Harris, of The French Market (2002) and The French Kitchen (2005), which won a Golden Ladle at the 2005 World Food Media Awards. She has written extensively for food magazines, including BBC Good Food, the Saturday Times Magazine, Waitrose Food Illustrated, and was food editor of Red magazine, before taking over as Food Editor for Tesco’s Magazine. Fran’s work for television includes appearances on Good Food Live (now renamed Great Food Live), Light Lunch, and Ready Steady Cook. Her next book is called New Bistro, and will be published by Thames & Hudson in 2009.
