Nine Bean Rows Panel: ‘A Sense of Place in Food Writing’
Kristin Jensen is the publisher and editor at Nine Bean Rows and Blasta Books. Frustrated that many voices and many parts of our food culture were not being represented, she founded this boutique publishing house in 2021 to update the story of the modern, diverse and vibrant food scene in Ireland.
Before she founded her own publishing house, Kristin was a freelance editor and writer for over 20 years, specialising in editing cookbooks and recipes. Kristin is also the co-author of Spice Box: Easy, Everyday Indian Food (Penguin Sandycove, 2023), Making Artisan Pizza at Home (Ryland Peters & Small, 2022) and Sláinte: The Complete Guide to Irish Craft Beer and Cider (New Island, 2014). She is a member of the Irish Food Writers’ Guild.
When she’s not pottering in the kitchen or got her nose stuck in a book, you’ll find her walking for miles in the countryside with her dogs, probably listening to a podcast about food.
