Debbie Hearn

The food writer Debbie Hearn founded the Big Little Fruit Campaign in 2005. She’d noticed that the traditional culinary fruits mentioned in ancient cookery books were often extremely hard to get to taste, let alone cook with.  

Debbie is the tenth of twelve children, brought up in Berkshire, where currants from the garden, blackberries from the hedgerow and windfall apples showed her what freshness really means.

As a food writer, Debbie is a keen advocate for British and seasonal foods and drinks, with a special interest in fruit. In 2006, she judged the Tastiest Apple at the National Fruit Show.
