ⓘ About Diana Henry

She’s said that she never intended on becoming a food writer, having planned on becoming a lawyer or an actress. Her early career was as a TV producer, working on food programs like “TV Dinners” presented by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. During her weekends she began cooking from books by Julia Child and Claudia Roden, going food shopping on London’s Edgware Road. Diana’s said that food shopping in London that it was all there, you may as well have been going to Cairo or something. She decided to become a food writer after she had her first child in 1998. She has since become one of the UK’s best loved food writers. Her writing has been featured in magazines such as: BBC Good Food, Waitrose Food Illustrated, Country Living, Red, and House and Garden.
