Jessica Ransom
Food Writer
Hey! I’m a Food writer in the Food Hub at TI Media.
I write food news and features, test and develop recipes and assist and lead on food shoots. Previously, I worked on GoodtoKnow as a digital writer where I wrote about the latest parenting debates, celebrity pregnancies and marriages, family health news and bargain buys.
I joined TI Media in April 2017 for a digital internship and I guess the rest is history!
I’m an enthusiastic cook and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’m always talking or thinking about food… From office snacks to weekend feasts, I’m happiest when I’m eating and I often turn to GoodtoKnow’s impressive bank of delicious recipes to browse for inspiration.
Before joining TI Media, I completed an MA in Magazine Journalism at City, University of London.
I’m also a bit of a history buff and studied it for my undergraduate degree at Queen Mary University of London. I specialised in the War on Terror and completed modules on the history of modern India, race in the United States and the Atlantic slave trade.
When I’m not at work you’ll find me trying my best to travel as much as possible, ambling through London’s food markets and parks or burning off all the calories at an exercise class. I also love a good podcast and I’m a sucker for a Netflix series binge…
