Derek Cooper's career in journalism has focused on one subject: the food we eat. For more than thirty years he was the voice of Radio 4's Food Programme, which he created. He has been associated with the best of British food and he has been a scathing critic of some of the worst this country has to offer, too. Honoured by both the Guild of Food Writers and the Glenfiddich Awards with awards for Lifetime Achievement, he is one of our best-known and best-loved broadcasters.
