Hello there, welcome.

I’m Ren Behan, née Marczak, a British food writer of Polish descent. Following a career break from law, I began writing a blog here at renbehan.com and completed a Diploma in Food Journalism. I am now a mum of three and for the past 7 years, I have been writing about food for online and print publications.

I have just written my first book Wild Honey and Rye, Modern Polish Recipes, which will be published by Pavilion Books on 7th September. Writing the book has given me the wonderful opportunity of drawing upon both my Polish heritage and my recent trips to Poland. I hope you’ll love it.

I also write about travel, family-friendly food with a seasonal angle and I love discovering new cook books – so I hope you’ll find lots of stories and recipes to inspire you here.

I’d love to hear from you – please connect with me on social media where you can find me as @renbehan or email ren@renbehan.com
