Penny Ericson

Chef, cookery book writer, carer and publisher

Born and raised in Canada, Penny began her culinary career in the 80's in Calgary, Alberta and Seattle, Washington. She earned her way through university working in every type of kitchen and restaurant from sandwich bar to Michelin star whilst studying fine art, theatre design and English literature. She moved to the UK in the mid-90's.

In 2010 she came full circle back to her culinary roots when she met her husband and fellow author Simon who is surviving bowel cancer and the inspiration for Chemo Cookery Club. They live in Hampshire with their pampered cats, 'The Gabors' - Eva & Zsa Zsa.
