Who do you consider to be a major influence, if any, in your career as a food writer? Are there any food writers that especially inspired you or that you look up to?

I am a great fan of Madeleine Kamman, a brilliant cook, writer and teacher. Her books always tell me something new and have for years.
And I love Marion Cunningham for her no nonsense, down to earth style and recipes that never fail.
Of course I admire Julia Child.
I am also in awe of someone who is not a food writer in the sense we are talking here: Marion Nestle, who has wrestled all the complicated things about food to the ground and written two excellent books about the influences on food in this country.
I know if I thought a lot longer I could come up with more. I'm sure I have left someone out.
