Hi, I’m Melissa Thompson, and I run Food & Recipe project Fowl Mouths.
Back in 2014, while working in national journalism, I started a monthly supper club from my home.
This grew into a popular restaurant pop-up, taking over kitchens in pubs and cafes across London. I paused when I had a baby in 2018...and never went back.
Instead I started developing recipes for brands, cooking, barbecuing and writing about the hospitality industry.
Of Maltese and Jamaican descent, food from all over the world excites me. I am a Good Food columnist and my written work has appeared in The Guardian, Vittles, Condé Naste Traveller, National Geographic, Waitrose Magazine and more.
I am co-director of the British Library Food Season, a regular panellist on BBC R4’s The Kitchen Cabinet and give in-house talks to corporations as well as consult about race, diversity and inclusion.
Get in touch if you’d like to discuss any upcoming projects, writing commissions or your favourite ice cream flavour (mine is brown bread or fior di latte).
Melissa
