Jo has worked for over 20 years in national magazines, primarily as an editor and food writer. She is a member of the Guild of Food Writers and editor of Delia Smith's website, www.deliaonline.com. She loves writing lifestyle features on a range of subjects including interiors, travel, health, wellbeing, art and people! She is also passionate about London, having lived here for 23 years - she has a bee in her bonnet about lots of urban irritations including litter, lack of cycle lanes and expensive restaurants serving up sub-standard food, but she also loves London for its diversity, shopping and the fact that you can eat just about any world cuisine you want from Albanian to Zimbabwean! Jo lives in leafy Wandsworth with her Tunisian husband and two children.
