Sophia Lindop 

Sophia Lindop grew up on a farm in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, which influenced her understanding and appreciation of quality ingredients and how they should be prepared. She is passionate about food and wine - a passion that began at the age of five, fuelled by many years in the kitchen followed by six years of studying. She works as a private chef in Cape Town and regularly entertains groups from overseas in her home. A food author, she does her own food styling and photography. 

"I’m a storyteller at heart, so my cookbooks are more than just page after page of recipes. They are a journey, in words and pictures, through the food and places and people that I love. I tell stories of the food I love – simple, wholesome and nostalgic, yet contemporary."
