Sophia Real

I am a freelance recipe developer and food writer (BBC Good Food, in the Guardian, Telegraph, Elle and Food52) with a weekly Substack newsletter all about making the most of our modern pantries. I have a passion for giving ingredients perishing at the back of our fridge or in the depths of our pantry a new lease of life through clever twists on existing recipes - e.g. in a Prune and Chinese Five Spice Sticky Toffee Pudding with Miso Butterscotch Sauce.

I have hosted a series of supper clubs and cooking classes here in Brussels where I live with my husband and two young boys and I regularly host pop-up events with my baked goods.

During the day I work as a senior competition lawyer at Google.
