Food stories. Mostly. Many with dead celebrity cameos.

Hilarious, effortlessly cool, and just all-round brilliant food writing. When I grow up I want to be Michael Procopio.

A Private Chef

By Will Cooper

I’m a private chef with a small family on their organic farm, set deep in rural England. I make vinegar, forage, preserve, smoke and ferment the ingredients around me and am the guardian of two rather obstinate honeybee colonies.

Will is a genuine pro chef. His knowledge flows from every newsletter he sends out. A joy for food lovers.
