About Grace Dent

While her sharp critiques might intimidate some—particularly amateur chefs—Grace’s warm personality and infectious sense of humour infuse joy and comedy into everything she does. Her ability to connect with audiences, whether through her writing or in person, has made her one of the most beloved voices in British food journalism.

Her best-selling memoir, Hungry, chronicles her journey from growing up in a working-class family in Currock, Carlisle, to becoming a celebrated figure in the food industry. The memoir is a nostalgic and touching read, revealing not only Grace’s relatable charm but also her vulnerability, especially as she candidly writes about her father’s battle with dementia.

Grace’s television work includes hosting The World’s Most Expensive Buffet (Channel 5), Best of Britain by the Sea (Channel 4) alongside Ainsley Harriott, and The World Cook (Amazon Prime). She is also a familiar voice on BBC Radio 2 during Christmas Day broadcasts and on The Untold (BBC Radio 4), where her work earned an ARIA nomination. On Netflix, she stars in two top-rated shows: Million Dollar Buffet (2022) and Greggs: What’s Really In It (2023).

Recognised for her contributions to food journalism, Grace was named Best Food Critic at the 2022 Fortnum and Mason’s Food and Drink Awards. Her memoir Hungry has garnered multiple awards, and her latest book, Comfort Eating (2023), has received critical acclaim.

A consummate professional speaker and event host, Grace brings her wealth of experience, quick wit, and storytelling prowess to every event, making her an engaging and memorable presence. Whether discussing the intricacies of food culture or sharing behind-the-scenes insights from her career, she has the ability to captivate and entertain audiences effortlessly.
