Annabel Jackson has always been around food. She was raised in a large farming family in the south of England, and began cooking seriously at the age of 11. She loves cities, however, and lived in Hong Kong for more than 20 years before returning to London where she attained an MA in Anthropology of Food at the School of Oriental & African Studies; and she is now studying for a PhD in Sociology of Creole Cuisine. She is the author of 14 books, including 6 cookbooks which cover Chinese or Asian cuisines including her key speciality, Macanese cooking. She has undertaken research into the immigrant Chinese catering community in London, but is also fascinated by how many immigrant groups have shaped the British palate, and contributed to such a dynamic food scape. She's also a wine lecturer and writer, and helped launch a super cool consumer wine app PINGZA in late 2019. She is an Advanced Ambassador of the Academy of Wines of Portugal.

Doris is a food and wine afficionado who is so passionate about food that she spent a year learning French culinary skills at Le Cordon Bleu, while completing a 6-week internship in a bistro in Paris and in the only Scandinavian restaurant in Hong Kong before graduation. She is also an advance-level wine professional, with a Level 3 Award in Wine and Spirits from WSET London. Since 2014, Doris has been a columnist with the leading financial daily in her birthplace, Hong Kong Economic Journal, sharing her insights on food, wine, travel, and culture. Multiculturalism is a subject that continues to intrigue and captivate her, ever since her student days at the University of Chicago where she obtained a Master of Liberal Arts. A self-appointed global nomad, Doris has published several books on culture and local history, and contributed personal essays to English-language writing anthologies. Doris holds a CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) of Cambridge University, UK and is a regular translator and transcriber for research companies and publishers in Australasia.
