Janet Laurence, (born 1937 as Janet Duffell[1]), also known by her pen name Julia Lisle, is a British author and cookery writer.
Cookery writer
[edit]From 1978, Laurence began to write cookery articles for Country Life and The Daily Telegraph. Eventually she became the sole author of the Telegraphs weekly 'Bon Viveur' column.[1] She also wrote a series of articles in Country Life about historical cooking.[2] She has written or co-written eight cookery books, notably books about Scandinavian cooking.
Crime fiction
[edit]Laurence's first crime novel, 'A Deepe Coffyn', was published in 1989,[1] the first of ten contemporary novels featuring cookery writer Darina Lisle and policeman William Pigram. She also wrote one non-series mystery fiction book, 'To Kill The Past'.[1] Laurence has also written four historical crime novels – three books where the detective is a fictionalised Canaletto (the Italian artist),[1] and one set in early Edwardian times.[3] Laurence was the 1998/1999 Chair of the Crime Writers' Association,[4] and has been Chair of a number of CWA award judging panels including in 2007 and 2008 for the CWA Ellis Peters Award for best Historical Crime Novel[5][6] and in 2013 for the CWA International Award.[7]
Other work
[edit]Laurence has written three contemporary women's novels under the pen name Julia Lisle,[1][3] a book on how to write cookery books,[8] and a book on how to write crime fiction.[9]
