Lauraine Jacobs
(@LauraineJacobs) Lauraine Jacobs has had a lifelong interest in what’s on her plate, whether she’s cooking at home, eating out or grazing in cafés and bars around the world. She is a former food editor of FQ and Cuisine magazines, the current President of the NZ Guild of Food Writers and a Founding Patron of Oxford Gastronomica. Her approach to cooking at home is that things must be simple to make, so that they’re simple to eat. That way, she says, “Your family and guests will love you!” And it also means she has plenty of time for travelling, golf and wine, the other passionate pursuits of her life.
