Joan Gate Author

Joan Gate and Margaret Brough are sisters who share a love of good food and of the county where they grew up and still live today. From farmer's daughters to renowned outside caterers in Cumbria, the pair have been in business together for over 30 years and for the last 15 of those they have run ever-popular cookery demonstrations. Beginning with JM Caterers in 1991 and moving on to Food & Company in 2005, Joan and Margaret have a regular venue at the beautiful Cumbrian manor Mirehouse, near Keswick, with returning customers and fully booked events throughout the year. This is their first book.
