Food Writer

Informed Food Writing

For food writer Steven Biggs, food is more than a trip to the supermarket. He knows about unique foods, knows farmers who grow them, and grows his own food too. Pictured here are Mexican gherkins and coloured beans from his garden.

Steven's understanding of food is grounded in an understanding of agriculture and gardening. They go hand in hand.

Practical Experience

As someone who enjoys making shopping more than just a trip to the frozen food section, Steven is in touch with new, unique, and interesting foods. As someone who loves cooking, he takes the time to learn about ingredients. And as someone in tune with the happenings in agriculture, he makes sense of issues surrounding food production.
