edit data

J.A. Lang is the author of the Chef Maurice Mysteries, set in the fictional Cotswold village of Beakley, conveniently located within driving distance of her home in Oxford, England. She lives with her husband, an excessive number of cookbooks, and a sourdough starter named Bob.

Her favourite authors include Agatha Christie, P.G. Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett.

When not at her writing desk, she enjoys cooking, eating, travelling to places with good food, drinking good wine, and thinking about her next meal. (Please note that any similarities between J.A. Lang and her main character, Chef Maurice, are purely coincidental.)

Quotes by J.A. Lang (?)

“And do not forget to check her fridge. You can tell much about a lady by the cheese that she eats.” Bachelorhood, thought Arthur, was a strange world, indeed.”

“They say one should never trust a thin chef. By this measure, Chef Maurice was very trustworthy indeed.”
― J.A. Lang, Chef Maurice and a Spot of Truffle

“Abandoned cars, shootings, dead bodies in the woods. Not really what people come to the Cotswolds for. Visitor numbers will slump, mark my words.”
― J.A. Lang, Chef Maurice and a Spot of Truffle
