About
About Lynn and FoodStak
My name is Lynn Hill. I’m a cookbook author, food writer, member of the Guild of Food Writers, and a self-taught home baker living in the UK. I am also the writer and content creator for FoodStak.
My Cookbooks
I’ve published two cookbooks.
The Clandestine Cake Club Cook Book - published Feb 2013
A Year of Cake - published Sept 2015
During the Clandestine Cake Club years 2010 - 2018, I received extensive coverage on international, national and local TV and radio, print and online publications, including:
BBC1’s The One Show. ITV’s Lorraine Show and The Alan Titchmarsh Show. BBC Radio Woman’s Hour and on BBC Radio 4. As well as in The Times, Daily Mail and The Washington Post.
I have had several recipe sites over the years, and I have honed my cooking and baking skills by attending classes at Bettys Cookery School. During the early lockdown year, I took several online cooking courses with Leith’s Cookery School.
After a period of grief and loss in 2025, this space is where I am reclaiming my love of writing/cooking, and baking, one recipe and article at a time.
