Neil Buttery Bio "I have been writing about British food for over ten years, I began with a blog about Jane Grigson’s book English Food, as a hobby. Bitten by the food history bug, I started a second blog, British Food: A History. After inadvertently teaching myself to cook and write on the subject, I began producing food for an artisan food stall, which then developed into a pop-up restaurant, and then into a restaurant, 'The Buttery', where I was director and head chef. More recently, I have focused on writing and media. My first book 'A Dark History of Sugar' in currently in press with Pen & Sword History, and I have just started my second, a biography of the great Elizabeth Raffald. Interest in the blogs has brought work with The Telegraph and the BBC. Most recently I was the resident food historian on Channel 5’s 'Wonderful World of Cakes'. I also write and present my own podcast ('The British Food History Podcast'), which has just finished [at the time of writing] its second season. I’m interested in almost every aspect of food and cookery: previous careers have included secondary school teacher and evolutionary biologist (specializing in social behavior), and it’s wonderful to use the skills gained in those professions today." (Bio provided by author) A Dark History of Sugar is available in the U.S. on July 9th.
