About Me
FOOD WRITER
Hi, my name is Catherine Milford, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve been a journalist for over 20 years both here and in England, and I’ve written on every topic you can think of, but EatsCooksReads focuses on my favourite: food. This blog is full of recipes I’ve written, products I’ve discovered, food books I love, restaurants I’ve reviewed and a lot besides! If you love New Zealand food, I hope you love my site.
