Fliss Freeborn wrote her first 'cookbook' aged 8. It included a
recipe for clotted cream and golden syrup on toast, and instructed
readers to eat cake batter straight out of the bowl rather than
bothering to turn on their ovens. From the age of 12, she was the
primary cook at home, later taking a job in a cafe as a prep and
dessert chef. During school holidays, she worked in the galley of a
charter boat, which meant by the time she arrived at university,
she was well-versed in cooking delicious food for large groups of
people on a tight budget.
In 2017, she started her blog - Student Cuisine for the Gloomy Teen
- to share her recipes, accompanied by a hefty side-salad of
surrealist humour. She still maintains that clotted cream and
golden syrup on toast is an outrageously good snack, but now
prefers her cake batter fully cooked.
Fliss has written for the Guardian and is the youngest ever panel
member on BBC R4's The Kitchen Cabinet. Do Yourself a Flavour is
her first book.
