Caroline Hire – Food writer
Caroline's passion for all things culinary has seen her working as a chef in Scottish hotels, fueling the McLaren F1 Grand Prix drivers in far-flung locations and catering here in London at Absolute Taste's high-end parties. She translated her love of food onto the page over a decade ago, working both as Food Editor and Editor on the BBC Good Food website and is now a regular contributor. Her main interest is practical cookery, making delicious food accessible to the home cook. This can be seen in everything from her weaning recipes and family features to product reviews that streamline everyday kitchen tasks.
