About Dan Lepard

Author Web Link: http://www.danlepard.com/

Dan Lepard writes a weekly column in The Guardian and he has become the alternative baking guru for a generation unconvinced by celebrity chefs. His first book, BAKING WITH PASSION (Quadrille, 1999), was awarded the Guild of Food Writers Cookery Book of the Year and short-listed for the André Simon Food Book of the Year. His next book, THE HANDMADE LOAF (Mitchell Beazley, 2004), combined his writing with his skills as a photographer as he took a remarkable solo journey to some of the most unexplored parts of Europe in search of forgotten and overlooked bread recipes, and soon became the handbook for an emerging artisan baking movement and an underground and internet-driven success. He followed this with the baking chapter of THE COOK’S BOOK (Dorling Kindersley, 2005), which has sold over a quarter of a million copies to date and which was awarded the James Beard Foundation Book Award. He also photographed Giorgio Locatelli’s masterwork MADE IN ITALY, winner of the Glenfiddich and World Gourmand awards. Dan’s next book is a long awaited and comprehensive new work about all that’s glorious, good and forgotten in the history of British baking. He lives in South London with his partner David, their two cats, and a cupboard filled with more flour than you can possibly imagine.
