Tim is passionate about wine, food, jazz and books (not necessarily in that order). After working in hospitality and a career in the law, Tim has been an antiquarian culinary bookseller for over twenty-four years.

An avid bibliophile, with a long held interest in the history, sociology, science and literature of food and books, Tim's particular passions in the kitchen are rustic European food and wine. Tim's particular areas of bibliographic interest are gastronomy, wine generally and more specifically Australian wine, Asian and Pacific Rim gastronomy, English language cookery and culinary ephemera.
