As a digital writer for Prima Online and a self-confessed foodaholic, you’ll find lots of fab foodie pieces from me. I have a true love for sun, sea and sangria (among many other indulgences). When not dreaming of sunny beaches (or running off to them) I can be found cavorting at festivals, hosting wine-fuelled dinner soireés and prancing around the kitchen to Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush. I also have an unhealthy obsession with Dave Grohl and Alan Partridge.
