Professional chef and northerner with a passion for words as well as food and drink. I've lived in London for 11 years now and have finally managed to reconcile my Northern brain and sensibilities with a liking for crowds and culture and a lack of sheep. I can also now hear someone order a grande extra wet skinny latte with 4 extra shots without wanting to cry. Must officially be a southerner. Live in Brixton, passionate about my local, wonderful and diverse area, and like to extol its virtues to anyone who will listen. Also a huge fan of live music and have very ecclectic tastes. If its wierd and eccentric, count me in!
