Tom Jackson is a self-taught cook and creative director from Birmingham, now based in London. Tom’s unconventional route into food began with a stint at the since-shuttered cafe-come-restaurant Railroad, where he made thousands of (excellent) bacon sandwiches, Bánh Mì and, if you caught him on a good day, the best fried eggs in Hackney. After a summer flogging fruit and vegetables at Able and Cole, Tom then went on to co-found the award-winning food media publisher Twisted, which now boasts a global following of over 40 million. He has authored two cookbooks on behalf of the brand and published his debut solo cookbook, COOL PASTA: Reinventing the Pasta Salad in 2024 (Hardie Grant).
