Bensoir! It's me, Benjamin. I like to eat and drink. And cook. And write.

You may have read stuff I've written elsewhere, but here on my own blog as Ben Viveur I'm liberated from the editorial shackles of others, so pretty much anything goes.

BV is about enjoying real food and drink in the real world. I showcase recipes that taste awesome, but which can be created by mere mortals without the need for tons of specialist equipment and a doctorate in food science. And as a critic I tend to review relaxed establishments that you might visit on a whim without having to sell your first-born, rather than hugely expensive restaurants and style bars in the middle of nowhere with a velvet rope barrier, a stringent dress code and a six-month waiting list!

There's plenty of robust opinion, commentary on the world of food and drink, and lots of swearing, so look away now if you're easily offended. Otherwise, tuck your bib in, fill your glass and turbo-charge your tastebuds. We're going for a ride... Ben Appetit!

Want Ben to write something for you?

Enjoying reading my blog?

Got a magazine, a newsletter, a beer festival programme, a website or a megablog with exposure to 50 million readers every minute?

Want the semi-legendary Ben Viveur to pen a few awesome and engaging words for it? (About food or beer or anything else about which you think I might have an interesting opinion?)

Then let's talk, my friend. 

I'm an ex-BBC Sports and Comedy writer with 20+ years professional experience, so not confined to this little blogette. It doesn't even need to be sweary.

Send me an email and let me know what you're thinking.
