Pete Brown

Author of nine books, I began my writing career in beer and have steadily broadened out to cover food and drink more widely. My book The Apple Orchard was a sort of hybrid food/drink book. My latest book, Pie Fidelity, is an exploration of traditional British food, and my next book project - in discussion with Penguin Random House - is in a similar area.
