Judy
was born in London and
is an accomplished author
and journalist. She
has been traveling and
writing about food for
more years than she cares
to
remember, in all of its
various incarnations:
recipes, cookbooks, features,
restaurant criticism and
consultancy.
A selection of her books
include; Caribbean Cooking,
Love Bites, Living in
Jamaica, The Gourmet's
Book of Fruit, Homelessness
and Sensual Sex - What
Men and Women Really Want.
She was a contributing
author on Curry and
consultant on Eat Caribbean.
She has written features
for numerous publications,
both in the UK and the
Caribbean: The Times,
Good Housekeeping, BBC
Good Food, Destinations,
Food
and Travel, Food Illustrated,
Health and Fitness, Homes
and Gardens,
Skywriting's, Woman and
Home and of course, Maco
Magazine.
She has found that she
prefers eating Mauritian
fruit bat when they've
been
feasting on mangoes rather
than eucalyptus - but
Amazonian piranha tastes
sweet and musty whatever
they eat. Chinese snake
can be rather bland but
Thai crickets, when deep
fried and sprinkled with
soy sauce, are a real
treat.
If you love to eat and
travel, what better job
than to become a food
and
travel writer. Over the
years Judy has appeared
many times on British
television as well as
contributing to radio.
Judy is a member of the
Guild
of Food Writers, The Society
of Authors and the National
Union of
Journalists.
Her other interests include
social issues and health
and she has published
over 35 consumer and educational
books for both children
and adults. Her
latest travels have taken
her walking in the High
Atlas Mountains in
Morocco, climbing the
'Stairway to Heaven' at
Angkor Wat in Cambodia
and
eating Bay Scallops in
Martha's Vineyard.
Her ex-husband and great
friend was born in Dominica
and brought up in
Trinidad. She has two
grown up children, Gaby
and Dominic. Judy's heart
will always be in the
Caribbean islands where
she lives for part of
the year
where she continues her
lifelong Odyssey on Caribbean
Cuisine and Culture.
