Author description

After 7 years as a professional body piercer in Camden, Gizzi Erskine decided to pursue her life-long dream of being a chef. In 2003, aged 23, Gizzi started training at the prestigious Leith's School of Food and Wine. She graduated the top of her year and went on to win a placement at BBC Good Food magazine, where she started to establish herself as an award-winning food writer and stylist. A career in TV started with the popular C4 primetime show, Cook Yourself Thin, and she has since appeared on Iron Chef, Cookery School with Richard Corrigan and Drop Down Menu for C4, on Sky Living alongside Gu founder James Averdick, and on Sky 1's Ones to Watch, mentoring the next generation of hot new creative talent alongside Rankin, Idris Elba and Paloma Faith. In 2014 she joined Jamie Oliver's Food Tube network on YouTube (see her latest video here: bit.ly/24Lx1S0). Always at the forefront of any trend, Gizzi was one of the first to back the pop-up restaurant scene. Her food events - including K-Town in Shoreditch and Gizzi's Barnyard Party in Dalston - are legendary for those in the know. In 2013 she had the honour of hosting the Observer Food Monthly awards alongside Jay Rayner, and in 2014 she programmed her own tent at Latitude Festival, headlined at On Blackheath and appeared at both Meatopia and the Big Feastival. She has been designated one of the Evening Standard's 1000 Most Influential People four times. Gizzi has been a columnist for The Sunday Times Magazine, Contributing Editor for InStyle and has written for a wide variety of other magazines and newspapers such as Marie Claire, Elle, Elle USA, Vogue USA, GQ, The Times and the Evening Standard. Her books include Cook Yourself Thin, Gizzi's Kitchen Magic, Skinny Weeks Weekend Feasts and the bestselling Gizzi's Healthy Appetite.
