Nell Nelson

Eat Cook Hong Kong

"More than just an interesting collection of recipes and facts about food in Hong Kong, this volume is a record of one woman's love affair with its kitchens"

Far Eastern Economic Review

 
Nell Nelson has worked as a food and travel journalist in Hong Kong for seven years. She writes a weekly food column for the South China Morning Post and food and travel articles for other publications. She was editor of Asian Home Gourmet for two years and contributes to Hong Kong Tatler Best Restaurant Guide.

Born and educated in Scotland, she worked in London for five years as an advertising copywriter. London was where she first started writing about food; she wrote the Afro-Caribbean section of the TimeOut Eating Guide as a result of attending Afro-Caribbean cooking classes. Nelson is an enthusiastic, resourceful cook. As a chalet girl in France, she learnt to produce Cordon Bleu three-course meals for 15 people everyday, on a budget, on top of a mountain and on one leg after a skiing accident meant a leg in plaster.

She has an Honours Degree in English Literature from St Andrews University, a Diploma in Advertising Copywriting from Watford College of Art and a Certificate of Completion of the Chinese Dim Sum course from the YWCA, Hong Kong.
