CELIA BROOKS
Celia Brooks moved from Colorado, USA, to London in 1989 seeking a career as a theatre dierctor, but
swiftly developed a passion for cooking and changed tack. Starting as a private chef for film director
Stanley Kubrick, she forged a career as a chef, food writer and businesswoman and went on to author
cookbooks. Celia created her highly successful food tour business, Gastrotours, in 2002, as a platform to
share her passion by connecting people with an array of artisan foods around London's gastronomic
hotspots including Borough Market and Portobello.Her extensive knowledge, curiosity and constant
engagement with markets and ingredients have firmly established her as a top food expert. She has had
eight cookbooks published worldwide in 10 languages and numerous journalistic accomplishments, with
columns for The Times, BBC Good Food Magazine and The Evening Standard. While her food knowledge
is comprehensive, her cooking style is fundamentally vegetarian, and she is also known as "The New
Urban Farmer", writing about growing to eat, based on her experience tending her North London
allotment. Celia has also made multiple TV appearances, a selection of which can be seen
here: www.celiabrooksbrown.com.
Celia's new book '5:2 Vegetarian' was published by Pavilion early this year, alongside a re-publication of
