Leanne Kitchen - "The Smart Mouth"

I grew up on a dairy farm in the Waikato not learning how to cook a thing. That changed. I went on to train and work as a chef for fourteen or so years, both in Auckland and in Sydney. Eventually I crossed over into the world of food media; I worked as food editor on some of the major Australasian food magazines including F.Q. Entertaining, Vogue Entertaning + Travel and Australian Gourmet Traveller. During an eclectic career in publishing I've variously been a food stylist, recipe developer, cooking demonstrator, features' writer, restaurant reviewer, copy writer, cook book editor and cook on photo shoots. Now I work as a freelancer, mainly pulling cookbooks together (although when I am able to sneak off without anyone at home really noticing, I write travel stories for magazines too.) Books I have written include the 'Providore' series ; The Butcher, The Baker, The Dairy and The Greengrocer. Currently I am researching, writing and shooting location photogaphy for a gorgeous tome based around one of the great Mediterranean cuisines- it'll come out in 2011. I live in the Inner West of Sydney where I'm in a constant state of confusion about what to cook and eat next.

I'm using my hands. (comments 9) I've been in a few tight spots in my time. Some are not fit to Share With The Group but suffice to say I am normally nimble-witted enough to navigate my way out of most sticky situations. I've got a modicum of common sense and over the years it's proven to be jolly handy stuff. It's saved me from making some of lifes' bigger stuff-ups such as joining the Orange People or signing up for adult tap classes or hitch-hiking solo through the Swat Valley. more>	01/02/2010 11:27 p.m.
Every now and then, I find myself not really knowing what to cook. (comments 8) I peer deep into the fridge seeking inspiration for dinner and the goat's curd, hoi sin sauce, half drunk magnums of Chardonnay, expired white Lindt balls and bits of semi-dried galangal glare right on back and nothing happens between us. more>	08/01/2010 08:46 a.m.

Cooking with Kids! (comments 7) I need to come clean. And as Confession Equals Catharsis, I’m going to be VERY honest. With bells on, no less. And on the internet, for maximum humiliation. Here goes.............. more>	12/12/2009 12:01 p.m.
