Kathy Slack is an award-winning cook, veg grower and writer; a rat race escapee who worked in advertising agencies until burnout and depression forced a change and she found inspiration, and a new career, in the veg patch.
Her debut cookbook, From the Veg Patch (Ebury), was shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers Award for Best Cookbook. Her forthcoming memoir with recipes, Rough Patch (Little, Brown), is set for release in 2025. Kathy began her food career at Daylesford Organic Farm before transitioning to full-time writing and presenting.
A regular contributor to Delicious magazine and Fortnum & Mason’s vegetable expert, Kathy creates seasonal, veg-centric recipes for magazines and brands, writes the Substack newsletter Tales from the Veg Patch, and gives talks and demonstrations on growing and cooking your own food.
