Author Bio
Fran Warde has worked all over the globe in the pursuit of culinary perfection. Raised in the rural West Country and an enthusiastic cook as a child, she studied hotel and catering management and, after an eighteen-month stint at The Cafe Royale, headed first to the French mountains and then to Australia. Fran connected with the Australian approach to cookery, even spending time on a prawn trawler to learn about fish and seafood. She returned to England and set up a restaurant in London, later moving into catering. She has also set up her own successful cookery school. Fran became associated with French country cooking when she co-authored the internationally best-selling The French Kitchen with Chocolat author Joanna Harris, which won a Golden Ladle at the 2005 World Food Media Awards. This book was followed by the similarly successful The French Market. Other books include Food for Friends; Eat, Drink, Live; and Party! She has written for numerous publications, including The Saturday Times Magazine, BBC Good Food and Waitrose Food Illustrated and Red magazine.
