Guest Bio
Anthony Warner is a professional chef with a background in biochemistry who got increasingly irate at claims linking food and health, made by people without qualifications. This irritation led to him creating The Angry Chef blog– an alter ego that gets riled up about many things from fad diets and detoxing to superfoods and veganism.
Anthony is the author of The Truth About Fat and The Angry Chef, a Guardian Best Food Book of the Year and winner in the Health and Lifestyle category at the inaugural Hearst Big Book Awards. He writes regularly for publications including New Scientist, Men’s Health, The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph.
