 Writer, magazine editor and broadcaster, Keith's speciality is food and drink, with handy sidelines in history, art and politics. Raised in Northland from Ngati Tautahi, Ngati Kahu, English and Scots stock he loves writing and talking almost as much as eating and drinking.
He lives with Julie, the Cat With No Name and a bunch of chickens who do have names and various birds that are passing aquaintences.
As well as Taste Life LIVE on Saturdays, Keith is editor of Grill Magazine and the author of 14 books, the latest of which, A History of New Zealand Wine will be published by Random House in March 2010.
