I have been writing about food for more than a decade, from tiny neighbourhood cafés to the city's most talked-about tasting menus. My reviews are honest, independent and always paid for, so you can trust where I send you.

At home I cook for a hungry family of five, which keeps my recipes simple, generous and tested on the toughest critics I know.

Follow along @rileynorth for daily bites, behind-the-scenes kitchen visits and the occasional cake disaster.
