Expertise
Coffee, The Mexico City Food & Drink Scene, Vegetarian & Plant-Based Food
- Lottë is a lifelong vegetarian (mostly), but has managed to eat her way around a lot of the world despite this restriction. It's made her a better cook, writer, and traveler.
- She believes the further you live from home, the more you need comfort food.
- After years in the U.S. and Mexico, Lottë is an expert in making potato scones, crumpets, and fish-and-chip-shop-style chips.
Experience
Lottë has always been an equal lover of food and words. Growing up in London, she was exposed to the international cuisines and exciting flavors that shaped her palette — and her writing. She has written for blogs on London dining and coffee culture, worked as a content designer for restaurant websites, and covered travel (and vacation eating) for both local and national publications. Lottë is now based in Mexico City, where she eats very well and cooks with a confidence that might not always be deserved.
Education
Lottë holds a B.A. in English literature and classics from the University of Glasgow and an MFA from Virginia Tech.
