I WASN'T VERY INTERESTED IN FOOD AS A CHILD (I know, who was I?)
But I was interested in chocolate. And I also liked reading and writing about food. I especially loved the google buns and toffee shocks in The Faraway Tree and the Famous Five’s picnics of tomato sandwiches, of hard-boiled eggs and ginger beer.(But you couldn’t make me eat a hard-boiled egg.)
