Bradley Tuck
Bradley Tuck is a writer and garden designer based in Hollywood, California. Raised in Gibraltar and the UK, by a mother who instilled in him a love of oysters, fresh mackerel, blood oranges and perfect short-crust pastry, he repaid her dedication with frequent deliveries of octopus plucked fresh from the Mediterranean’s waters, usually terrifyingly alive. Frequent trips to Morocco broadened his palate and a one month stay with a family in Bordeaux cured his terror of tomatoes, and beef cooked ‘rare’.
His base in Hollywood allows him the luxury of frequent excursions to California’s incredibly diverse wine regions as well as LA’s mind bogglingly multicultural food scene.
An advocate of sustainable farming, and all things local and homegrown, his entire back garden is planted with vegetables, and friends are often subjected to completely unusable quantities of courgettes. He is unbothered by earthquakes, but terrified of spiders. He has a phobia of amusement parks.
