TORI HASCHKA

Tori Haschka tells stories about food and family. Though born in Sydney, she will always consider London her second home. These days Tori has two small children and is usually found wearing active wear, whether she’s been to the gym or not. In addition to being a writer, Tori is also the Artistic Director of Berry Writers’ Festival.

Tori’s novels include Grace Under Pressure (Simon & Schuster Australia, 2021) and A Recipe For Family (Simon & Schuster Australia, 2022). Her cookbooks include A Suitcase and a Spatula (Ryland Peters & Small, 2012) and Cut the Carbs! (Countryman Press, 2015).
