About Prue Leith

When she was five, she was enrolled at an English private boarding school run by nuns known as the “St, Mary’s School Waverley.” She graduated with honors and went on to study French, drama, architecture, and fine arts at various times, given that she did not know what she wanted to do. Things changed for Prue Leith when she finally convinced her parents to send her to the ‘University of Paris” otherwise known as “The Sorbonne.” It was during that time attending the prestigious “University of Paris” that she discovered that she had a passion for the food industry. In addition to her very popular restaurant, she is the founder of the “Leith School of Food and Wine” to train amateur and professional cooks, which became very successful. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Prue Leith has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
