After being flung into the culinary limelight as a semi-finalist on
Masterchef, Orlando Murrin edited Woman and Home, BBC Good Food and
founded Olive magazine; then he switched track to become a
chef-hotelier in SW France and Somerset.
He has written six cookbooks and is President of the Guild of Food
Writers. An ever-popular guest on TV and radio, he presents the BBC
Good Food Podcast with Tom Kerridge.
From his grandfather, a Met detective who rose to become a crack
MI5 interrogator, he inherited a fascination with crime and
mystery. He lives in domestic bliss in Exeter, Devon, and Knife
Skills For Beginners is his debut novel.
