Lindy Wildsmith is a freelance food and recipe writer. She develops exclusive recipes for magazines and her own courses. She has written a variety of features for food and travel magazines and has written books on cooking and eating outdoors, Italian food, and  preserving. She is a member of the Guild of Food Writers.

The GTwoClub
Lindy runs the “GTwoClub”, on the borders of England and Wales at Wilton Court Hotel, Ross-on-Wye where she presents her own themed seasonal demonstrations and hosts celebrity cooking events. Since October 2001 she has also been working with Franco Taruschio out of the Walnut Tree Restaurant staging hands-on lunch party cooking days and weekend courses at the Hill Abergavenny. She teaches at the Cucina Caldesi, the Italian cookery school in London and demonstrates regularly at high profile shows at Olympia.

Lindy’s style of food brings together the best of British country and Italian regional cooking and the culinary experiences she enjoyed around the Mediterranean and the Middle East before settling in Britain.

Her recipes are designed to be cooked everyday, for people who enjoy eating, cooking and good company. Her dishes adapt equally well to the family table, casual meals and elegant entertaining, and leave the intuitive cook time to enjoy the cooking, the occasion and the company.

Special interests
Lindy's special interests are sustainable fish and game, kitchen crafts (preserving and curing in particular), natural ingredients sourced locally wherever possible, food and travel, food in art, and Slow Food.

Lindy speaks fluent Italian, runs Italian courses and has an in-depth knowledge of Italy and Italian food.
