As much as I’m personally writing, cooking and testing every single thing in this book, I always say to myself that ‘it takes a village’ of people to make this happen, and to help me. Before I get into it, I wanna thank you for buying this book, and supporting what I do. Whether you were here from the beginning, from about a year ago, or even found me through this book, you’re a bloody legend and I don’t any single one of you for granted. We’ll go business-y people first and then the family.
I would not be writing this book at this time in my life without the brilliant women at YMU that somehow sensed this in me, but also have helped every step of the way, with both grounding advice and emotional support. Lucy Loveridge, thanks for spotting me on the ‘gram, on the telly and thinking ‘yeah this bloke is a bit of me, I wanna represent him,’ you have genuinely changed my life over the past few years. Lois Sharland, thanks for representing me and managing me through not only this book, but everything else I’m doing in my incredible life. You’re driven, can have banter (thank God) and for someone who deals with various talent, you never fail to make me feel included and special with what I’m doing. Anna Dixon, my my, books are your bread and butter. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful book industry, never saying no to any incredibly audacious ideas I had and really pushing me to make this book into a brilliant piece of work. They’ll kick up a fuss if I don’t mention their names, but Meghan, Zara, Frankie and Nancy, you’re an incredible bunch, and I love coming into the office to both irritate and entertain you. I bloody love you lot.
