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 in Madrid for a while and has been a national newspaper feature writer, based in London, for the past seven years. 
 
She 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. One day she dreams of opening a tea shop selling freshly baked cakes, scones and biscuits. Her foodie achievements to date include baking a sticky ginger sponge for Mary Berry, cooking in the Masterchef kitchen and making 339 traybakes in a single weekend (and surviving to tell the tale).
