About the author

Hi there! My name is Jules Clancy.

I’m a first and foremost a food lover who adores her veggies. The type of girl who plans her holidays around restaurant reservations.

In my last job I had an hour commute each way. And that was on a good day. So I started to challenge myself to come up with healthy meals that still tasted great in the shortest time possible. I found that by keeping my ingredient list to around 5 items, I was able to get dinner on the table in as little as 10 minutes.

And the thing that kept surprising me was just how good these simple, fresh meals tasted. I was even able to keep my fiance happy and he has VERY high standards when it comes to food.

I have a degree in food science but I’m not a nerd, really. In January 2010, I packed in my day job as a chocolate biscuit designer for Australia’s largest biscuit company to follow my dream of cooking and writing about food for a living.

The other thing you should know about me is that I love simplicity and making things as quick and easy as possible. I just adore the fact that I’ve been able to combine my two passions for good food and simplicity in my blog and my business.

I founded the Stonesoup Virtual Cookery School because I believe that the ability to cook simple, healthy, delicious food is a basic skill, like reading, that everyone should and can have.

When I’m not cooking, writing about food or taking photographs [of food], I can be found indulging my passions for long boozy lunches, travel, running, cookbooks, growing my own veggies, cheese, red shoes and Irishmen, [OK one Irishman in particular].
