How I Found the Agency
I first came into contact with Andrew Lownie in 2005, when I e-mailed him in relation to writing a book about Indian cookery. I received a swift and frank response from Andrew, who replied, ‘There are over 500 books on Indian cooking on Amazon. What is your unique selling point?’ Evidently, Andrew’s observation sank deep into my consciousness, and finally, and nearly three years later, my book about Indian cookery has metamorphosed into Indian Superfood. Dealings with Andrew have always been clear as crystal and this is why I choose to work with him. ‘Speed and transparency’ are the two words which, for me, best describe my personal experience of Andrew Lownie.
