About Justine

At the age of nine, I started compiling my first recipe book and I haven’t stopped food writing ever since (the photo below shows me looking pretty proud of myself after spending several days developing a recipe for a banana sponge cake).

You might have seen my book Freeze or perhaps some of the Without The Calories series of healthy eating cookbooks. I’ve also co-authored the Fast800 Recipe Books and written many other best-selling titles. I occasionally appear on TV, pop up on the radio regularly and contribute to several online food sites, national magazines and newspapers.

I use ingredients that are easy to find and write my recipes really clearly, so even the most inexperienced cook will get great results. My recipes and books are packed with tips, including lots of information on freezing for when you’re cooking for one or two, or need to prepare ahead. All my recipes are created by me and tested by me – with lots of help prepping and tasting from the amazing team in my Test Kitchen.

TV, Websites, Magazines and Newspapers

With a career spanning over 20 years, I have created content for some of the UK’s most popular magazines, newspapers and websites; including BBC Food, BBC Good Food,  Olive magazine, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Sun, The Observer and The Daily Telegraph.

As well as appearing regularly on ITV This Morning, I have coached and consulted on a range of television series and helped celebrity chefs and TV presenters develop recipes for their own projects – important work if they aren’t known for their writing or cooking skills.

My TV credits range from BBC 2’s Ready Steady Cook, Masterchef USA, Channel 4 hits such as The F Word and You Are What You Eat to the BBC’s What To Eat Now and various Hairy Bikers series; foodie favourites like Clarissa and the King’s Cookbook and Raymond Blanc: How To Cook Well; plus kids’ shows Gastronuts and Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch. My most recent work even took me to the set of the new BBC TV dramatisation of Great Expectations.

My latest book – PING! – is published today.⁠
⁠
It’s a collection of over 100 energy-saving, family-friendly recipes cooked using just a microwave oven. ⁠
⁠
It’s a bit of departure from my recent books, but one I hope you'll find useful – and perhaps intriguing too. There's something fascinating about cooking in the microwave and, even though I’ve been using them for many years, I was surprised by the huge variety of different - and very delicious - dishes that could be cooked successfully using microwave power alone. Everything from easy curries and 'casseroles', to lasagne, barbecue-style chicken, spicy rice, banoffee pie, sticky toffee pudding, rich chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle cake! ⁠
⁠
If you do fancy taking a peak at Ping!, you can find it in your local bookshop, online and via the link in my bio.⁠

For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple v For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple veggie bolognese? Taken from my slow cooker book, this one makes four really generous servings or six smaller portions. It freezes very well and can be used for a lasagne, pasta bake or base for veggie cottage pie. Perfect if you like to go meat-free or simply fancy a change.⁠
