Books By Clare Finney - Author

Clare Finney is an award-winning food writer - Fortnum and Mason Food Writer of the Year 2019 - and author of The Female Chef, which won Fortnum and Mason's Debut Food Book Award in 2022. Born in London in 1988 and unhappily educated at an all-girls' school, she spent large stretches of the school holidays in her grandparents' large hotel kitchen on the south coast. There, food and love were inextricable; yet it wasn't until after university that she fell in love with food writing itself, whilst working for Borough Market's magazine. Today, her food journalism appears regularly in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, delicious magazine, Vogue, The Telegraph and iPaper, amongst many other titles. She writes about sustainability, food and relationships, producers, food and feminism, trends in food culture, and cheese.
