Mini bio

How it started.

Ruby grew up in Essex in a big family, reading cookbooks and eating hearty home food. She entered The Great British Bake Off at twenty and reached the 2013 final. Her first book, Crumb, followed in 2014.

Food without the fuss.

Her books make room for pleasure and the realities of home cooking. Flavour follows ingredients and cravings; Eat Up! explores the joy of eating; Cook As You Are offers practical recipes for people with different budgets, time and kitchen resources.

Following her curiosity.

Ruby’s work now moves between recipes, cultural criticism and reporting. She has written for The New Yorker, Vittles, The Guardian and ELLE. All Consuming examines the forces shaping modern appetite, while her audio work for Signal Hill follows the people trying to preserve the lute.
