Gcroft

Gcroft is a 30-something woman living in London, whose secret ambition is to be a puppeteer.  The only people who find her puppetering amusing are her mum and hubby, although both have advised her not to quit her day job.

Gcroft developed a passion for food in her late twenties. She was a slow starter, having had a poor relationship with food when she was growing up. She was hopeless in the kitchen as a teenager, having fried her first egg with at least a cup of oil (!) when she was 13. Her mum wrote her off as being a lost cause, but has since changed her mind.

Gcroft tries to maintain a balance between tasty and healthy food in her cooking. She was inspired to cook by watching Bill’s Food.  Gcroft has a big phobia about baking, which she hopes to overcome someday soon.
