Mark Diacono

Mark is lucky enough to spend most of his time eating, growing, writing and talking about food.

His A Year at Otter Farm and A Taste of the Unexpected both won Food Book of the Year; The New Kitchen Garden won Garden Book of the Year.

His book, Sour, was published in September 2019.

Mark was involved with River Cottage, appearing in the TV series, running courses and events at River Cottage HQ, and he has written four River Cottage books.

Mark also writes for a range of publications, including the Observer, the Telegraph and Country Life. His refreshing approach to growing and eating has done much to inspire a new generation to grow some of what they eat.
