More About Tom Parker Bowles

Tom Parker Bowles is a food writer with a weekly column in The Mail On Sunday's Live magazine, and he is also a contributing editor to GQ.

He co-hosts Market Kitchen on UKTV Food and regularly contributes to other TV food shows (Gordon Ramsay’s F Word,  The Big Food Fight Quiz).

He is the author of three books about food:

Full English 
Peppered with mouth-watering recipes and recommendations, Tom's pilgrimage maps out England's defining dishes: Fish & Chips in the North, Balti in the midlands, and Snail Porridge at the Fat Duck. But it is the colourful characters we meet along the way who truly bring Full English to life.

The Year of Eating Dangerously
Tom Parker Bowles is a fiend for great flavour, and does not shy away from strange-looking, spicy, or otherwise "dangerous" foods whether in London or halfway around the world. His journey took him from the potentially lethal—fugu, the infamous poisonous blowfish —to the merely nauseating to the unexpectedly delectable.

E Is For Eating: An Alphabet Of Greed
Tom writes wittily, seductively and with real passion and knowledge about all aspects of food and the eating and enjoyment of it. The book is not merely a dutiful run through A is for apple to Z is for zucchini Tom picks unusual subjects and demonstrates his knowledge and enthusiasm for them.
