Amateur chef, professional boozer, poet, traveller and essayist, Milton Crawford is also a fantastic drinker. He states that ‘seven days without a drink makes one weak’. He once said that a hangover is like being crucified – it offers ordinary mortals the chance of resurrection on a daily basis.

Milton is the author of the bestselling Hungover Cookbook, published by Square Peg / Penguin Random House, and the winner of the 2011 Bombardier Beer Writing Competition, and its companion volume The Drunken Cookbook, published in 2013. The third in the series, The Lover’s Cookbook, was published in January 2016, again by Square Peg.
