Andi Oliver

Andi's lifelong obsession with food started in childhood and she remembers throwing her first dinner party at the age of 12. Her father's RAF career meant she travelled widely, including stints in Cyprus and Germany. These influences, as well as her family's Antiguan heritage, have given her a love of food from all over the world. As a broadcaster, Andi has worked across radio and TV for more than 20 years. In 2006 she presented The Truth About Food for the BBC and the following year she and Neneh Cherry hosted their own BBC Two cooking series Neneh and Andi Dish It Up. She has also appeared on Food Glorious Food, Saturday Kitchen, The Big Eat and Market Kitchen. Andi is currently a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's The Kitchen Cabinet, hosted by Jay Rayner. When she's not broadcasting, Andi co-runs SugarShack. Food is not Andi's only passion. Her first appearance on TV was as a singer in the band Rip, Rig and Panic (alongside Neneh Cherry) and she has also presented from the Brit Awards and Glastonbury Festival.
