  • Lottë is a lifelong vegetarian (mostly) but has managed to eat her way around a lot of the world despite this restriction. It's made her a better cook, writer, and traveler.
  • After years in the U.S. and Mexico, Lottë is an expert in making potato scones, crumpets, and fish-and-chip-shop-style chips.
  • She's interested in food history, modern and historical foodways, and how what we eat reflects the communities we live in.

Experience

Lottë has always been an equal lover of food and words. Growing up in London, she was exposed to the international cuisines and exciting flavors that shaped her palate—and her writing. She has written on travel, diet culture, fine dining, and more for publications like London x London, ActiveFit+, CRAFT, and The Getaway. She has also worked as a content designer for restaurant websites and edited cookbooks, travel guides, and foodie memoirs for Luath Press. Lottë is now based in Mexico City, where she eats very well and cooks with a confidence that might not always be deserved.

Education

Lottë holds a bachelor's degree in English literature and classics from the University of Glasgow and a Master of Fine Arts from Virginia Tech.
