Alastair Hendy

Voted ‘World Best Food Journalist’ and ‘World Best Food Photographer’ at the World Food Media Awards, and for two consecutive years, Alastair Hendy is a leading figure in his profession and a well-established name in the food and lifestyle world. Starting his cooking career at Antonio Carluccio’s Neal Street Restaurant, Alastair is also a chef. In those early days, he appeared on TV’s Masterchef. At weekend lunchtimes during the summer, he now chefs at his own restaurant in Hastings High Street, A G Hendy & Co. An inveterate traveller, he spends much time eating, scribbling and photographing his way around the globe – something which is reflected in his eclectic cooking style.
