Bee Wilson

生年: March 07, 1974 – Oxford, England, United Kingdom

ソーシャルリンク:

Bee Wilson is a British food writer and historian whose books explore cooking, eating habits, and kitchen culture. Her notable works include Consider the Fork, First Bite, The Way We Eat Now, and The Secret of Cooking. An award-winning journalist, she won Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year for First Bite and The Way We Eat Now.

経歴と著者の歩み

Bee Wilson emerged from a notably literary and academic milieu into one of the English-speaking world’s most distinctive food-writing careers. Trained first as a historian, she completed a Cambridge doctorate on early French utopian socialism and then held a research fellowship in the history of ideas at St John’s College, Cambridge. That scholarly formation has remained central to her work: even when she writes about a spoon, a loaf of bread, or a weeknight supper, she tends to use food as an entry point into larger questions of technology, memory, habit, and everyday life.
