Sarah Rainey has been baking, cooking, eating, writing and thinking about food for as long as she can remember. Originally from Belfast, she studied Law at Cambridge, lived for a period in Madrid and has been a national newspaper feature writer, based in London, for the past seven years.

Sarah edited How to Jug a Hare: The Telegraph Book of the Kitchen in 2015. In her day job, she writes on a range of diverse subjects, from new-fangled kitchen gadgets to people who keep pet goats. Her dream is to one day open a tea shop selling freshly baked cakes, scones and biscuits. Sarah’s culinary achievements to date include baking a sticky ginger sponge for Mary Berry, cooking in the Masterchef kitchen and making 339 tray-bakes in a single weekend (and surviving to tell the tale).
