Author Information

David Wright is a baker, food writer and presenter from Suffolk. He has co-authored DJ BBQ's Backyard Baking (Quadrille, 2023) and writes for The Sandwich Magazine regularly. David's father and grandfather were also bakers which allows him a unique personal window into the period before mass produced bread. A graduate from King's College London where he studied English Literature with Film, David has written articles for many small publications and worked as an advertising copywriter before returning to baking. David's presenting includes compering the Literary Stage at Camp Bestival, demonstrating at festivals such as Tom Kerridge's Pub in the Park and working alongside brands such as Gozney - producing video content for their popular YouTube channel.
