About Me

My name is Gizzi Erskine and I'm a food writer and stylist and can now add TV presenter to that.Last year I did a series called cook yourself thin and writen a book to go with it which I'm very proud of. Before that I was a regular contributer on a show called Taste for Sky 1.I have just been given the great task of being the face and spokesperson for the Herb company and have loads of exciting adventures with them for the next few months. Keep a look out for my recipes.But its not all food, food, food, (although it kind of is most of the time). I'm a massive Rock n roll fan, I used to be a body piercer, (working at Cold Steel in Camden for almost 9 years) and love all things tattoo's.
