Classic Recipes: Mexican Cooking

Wendy studied at Reading University, before moving to Macmillan Education then Oxford University Press and Purnell Books. When licensed character publishing was in its infancy, she worked on accounts such as Walt Disney, Dangermouse- Subsequently she had some of her own children's stories published: some licensed character material, others in anthologies and four books about Bertie Bassett. Two particular areas of expertise are the apparently odd pairing of mind, body, spirit and cookery. In cookery, she has worked with many major UK and international publishers such as BBC Books, Simon & Schuster and Cassell and can name drop Ken Hom, Gary Rhodes, Madhur Jaffrey, Mary Berry and Valentina Harris among the authors whose books she has edited. As well as the children's books, her writing credits include Simply Feng Shui, Silver Surfers' Colour Guide to Word Processing, Classic 1000 Recipes, Classic 1000 Cake and Bake Recipes, First Years, Starting School, Ladies' Flower Garden and The Kitchen Companion.She has a grown-up son and daughter and lives in Berkshire, currently with two cats.
