How to pitch recipes to The Times & The Sunday Times with Hannah Evans, Deputy Food Editor

Alessia Horwich (00:07):

Welcome to On The Rox, a podcast from Roxhill Media that asks some of the best journalists in the UK for their solutions to the kind of dilemmas that confront PRs daily. We know that there’s not a one size fits all way of communicating with journalists, so we’re going direct to the writers in the newsroom to hear how they like to work with PRs and how to stand out in their inboxes. My name is Alessia Horwich, I’m a former Sunday Times journalist, now the brand director at Roxhill. Today we’re going to be talking about how to pitch recipes to the Times and Sunday Times with the paper’s Deputy Food Editor Hannah Evans. So I mean, I’ve known you for quite a long time.

Hannah Evans (00:42):

Yes.

Alessia Horwich (00:44):

But did you always want to be a journalist?

Hannah Evans (00:46):

I knew I liked writing. I did the kind of cliche thing of writing for the university newspaper, and I’ve always enjoyed if you get really granular, I’ve always enjoyed essays. I’ve never really liked exams, and so I’ve always known that the kind of avenue for my creativity has been words and writing. Along the way along doing bits of work experience, I knew that the best thing to do if you wanted to get into it was to do a master’s. And there was one University, City University of London, where everyone does their journalism masters. It’s incredibly well connected, and so I knew that if I wanted to pursue it as a career, I needed to go there and I needed to do the masters. I suppose the way I ended up working at the Times and still working there. I started almost nine years ago, was a bit by accident. I got an internship there doing a sort of rolling two days a week, and then that turned into three days a week and I was literally sitting and doing the tweets. So this was sort of before even the days where Tweet Deck. Do you remember that? Yeah. And so it was me writing down…

Alessia Horwich (01:50):

Who was the editor then? It was Lisa.

Hannah Evans (01:51):

And so it was me writing down who was the editor then? It was Lisa. No, it was Eleanor Mills. Eleanor was the editor of the Sunday Times Magazine, and it was before even Lisa Markwell, who now edits the Telegraph magazine, had even joined as the food editor. And so I was just writing out all the tweets, writing out on the Instagram captions, scheduling them in a very early form of tweet deck or some scheduling tool, and then that kind of just evolved and then it wasn’t really for another two years that Lisa came on board and wanted some help running the food kind of pages. She did the most of it or she did all of it, all of the heavy lifting, but doing the more digitally things.

Alessia Horwich (02:32):

I remember you running Cookbook Club on Facebook.

Hannah Evans (02:35)

Yeah which still exists, it runs itself. It’s a Facebook group of all of our food loving readers plus more that it’s kind of snowballed into and it’s a really engaged community, but they very much look after themselves. Now, I joined just as newspapers and publications were focusing more on their digital product, and so they needed young social media, digital focus people to help and then accidentally picked up the food stuff as a hobby really. Whenever they needed help, I kind of raised my hand. I love eating essentially and then I kind of what, five years later have ended up as the Deputy Food editor of both the Times and the Sunday Times, which kind of shows the arc and the transition that the paper has gone through. It used to be that The Times and The Sunday times were completely separate. We didn’t have joint food desks, but now it…

Alessia Horwich (03:35):

Was quite a competition.

Hannah Evans (03:36):

It was mind blown because we didn’t talk to each other. So you’d have one Saturday The Times’ wine critic would write about Rose, rose drinking rose in winter, and then the next day, The Sunday Times’ wine critic will have written the exact same thing. So there was eventually people higher up said, wait, this is silly. We can save a lot more money essentially and produce a more kind of coherent newspaper if teams merge or if we have one team managing both papers. So that’s what happened with the Food Desk. It’s also happened with the travel team, so it is a really, really interesting place to work

Alessia Horwich (04:18):

And I mean you’ve done some fabulous things. I think the thing that sticks out for me is that all you can eat place in the south of France.

Hannah Evans (04:25):

Park. Yeah, that was quite,

Alessia Horwich (04:27):

what’s that called?

Hannah Evans (04:29):

It’s called, I mean, so I have an awful French accent, so it was called L’Grand Buffet. I remember I had to do a TikTok for the social media team, and I did a voiceover and I just got trolled in the comments for my pronunciation.

Alessia Horwich (04:41):

Oh, did you?

Hannah Evans (04:41):

Yeah, but essentially it’s this insane all you can eat buffet in the south of France that is booked out for years in advance. It’s open every day of the year, including Christmas day with two bookings. I think it’s about 50, 60 Euros. It’s cheap.

Alessia Horwich (04:57):

It’s really cheap. It’s like lobsters and…

Hannah Evans (04:59):

Oh yeah, it’s basically a celebration of French astronomy and you go around and there’s the duck that they do, the press duck. You can have scallops, famous French scallops. You can go and then have all of the different types of French puddings. There’s an ice cream parlour, there’s meats and steaks, and then there’s a million different types of foie gras. There’s the Guinness World Book of Record, official biggest cheese room in the world.

Alessia Horwich (05:30):

How long do you get for this?

Hannah Evans (05:33):

It’s a generous amount of time. I think we got there Midday and cutoff was about four o’clock.

Alessia Horwich (05:39):

Oh, that is a lot of time.

Hannah Evans (05:39):

 And the vibe is sort of Beauty and the Beast Game of Thrones. That’s what the interior is. Did you

Alessia Horwich (05:44):

Feel awful afterwards?

Hannah Evans (05:45):

I did. I felt awful and I felt really tired because also it’s quite, I think it’s about 25 euros and you can add a bottle of champagne in, so oh my gosh, it’s great. And I remember I had to file that evening because we wanted it in that issue, but essentially what had happened is what happens in lots of newspapers is that I think it was The New Yorker had gone and written quite a serious New Yorker, New York magazine style piece. And then oddly the same day that came out, Marino Lachlan, who’s now the FTE’s restaurant critic, had written a piece in Noble Rot, which is the independent wine magazine that noble rot bar and restaurant producers. And so you had two really big writers writing about somewhere very small in the south of France, but was really special. And so my editor came to me and said, okay, we want to do a sort of timed magazine version of this. So much funny, fun about all of these grand mind boggling buffets around the world, but kind of focusing in on your experience going to this place. But it was a real experience.

Alessia Horwich (06:56):

I think the Times does those kind of pieces really well. The fun, I’ve gone here and tried this and this is how absolutely absurd. I mean it’s the good bit of the job. I would say the recipes, bit of the job is more the kind of bread and butter bit that you guys are doing.

Hannah Evans (07:08):

You guys are doing. Yeah, that’s the day-to-day stuff. So we are very good. I mean, I don’t want to say that my editor or the Times invented first person journalism, that would be silly, but it’s a real signature of the times I think. And it has been for a very long time, long before lots of other newspapers or magazines.

Alessia Horwich (07:27):

Yeahm, because it’s all the rage now, isn’t it? But it’s certainly something we used to do when I was there.

Hannah Evans (07:30):

Was there. Yeah, it’s a real kind of legacy I think of that paper is the sort of, this has happened, this is in the news. I went and tried it cutting off a bit of your own personal life or your own experience for a story. But yeah, the food features and the recipes are definitely the kind of day-to-day bread and butter things that we need to do and really enjoy doing.

Alessia Horwich (07:56):

Yeah. What do you know about the people who read the recipes? I guess, I mean, I know I save them on my account. You can see who’s saving what and what’s happening with all of your data or what kind of users are reading the recipes?

Hannah Evans (08:07):

Yeah, I mean the general Times reader is changing. It used to be that it was a man who didn’t live in London in their late sixties was the kind of cliche times reader, and that’s very much evolving and the paper is making a big drive to draw in younger readers. We now have a new London hub.

Alessia Horwich (08:27):

Yes, Andy Silvester’s vertical.

Hannah Evans (08:30):

Which is essentially trying to fill the space that is now being left about the fact that there aren’t so many London newspapers anymore. Definitely not any daily newspapers. And really speaking to that section of our readers, the recipes are slightly more female and younger orientated, but it’s still, I think the reason they’re so popular is that they appeal to everyone. So I don’t ever think in the way that we commission, we are thinking of a very specific person because I think that’s the universal thing about food. It’s really democratising and everyone enjoys eating it. So I think other sections have a more defined reader.

Alessia Horwich (09:11):

That’s quite an opportunity for a PR because you can’t be like, “oh these recipes won’t work because our reader is this person”.

Hannah Evans (09:17):

I mean, the thing that we always need to keep in mind, and I like to keep in mind and I know that my editor likes to keep in mind, is the fact that most of our readers still don’t live in London. And I think that when you are working in London and you’re embedded in the hospitality industry in London, and lots of PRs are, it’s really easy to get in this little micro bubble of what’s going on in London. So we;re always very keen to make sure that the recipes that we feature, the pieces that we write in, the examples that we use aren’t just focused in the places that we live. Because you’ll also bet that the readers, they’re unhappy that you’ve not written about anything outside of the South West will let you know.

Alessia Horwich (09:59):

And that’s got an actual knock on for ingredients, doesn’t it?

Hannah Evans (10:02):

Often you will commission a chef to write you some recipes and then they will sort of start saying all sorts of ingredients, you know, get your vegetables from Natoora and mentioning really obscure vegetables and ingredients. We might say, “Hey, there needs to be in a supermarket”. And they might say, “oh, you can get them in some branches of Ocado or Waitrose”. Actually, we’ve got to make our recipes appeal to people who don’t even really enjoy cooking or don’t know how to cook in the same way as a chef. It needs to be, we like to keep the ingredients list short and the recipe short for most of the recipes that we do. So they do have to have a broad appeal and then often there is ways to jeuje them up and make them a bit more complex, you know, optional extra ingredients and things that. Broadly speaking, we are not going to send off people off to go foraging for things or going to track down a farmer’s deli or anything like that because it’s just unrealistic.

Alessia Horwich (11:11):

Yeah, I mean it’s funny that you even sort of say it, but when you say it makes so much sense because most people aren’t going to do those things and if you want them to actually cook the recipes, which I assume you do, you want people to feedback and be involved and invested. If you can’t get it in Tesco, then it’s not going to happen.

Hannah Evans (11:25):

Exactly. And that’s definitely in part of the brief when we’re working with restaurants and their PRs and chefs.

Alessia Horwich (11:30):

Where do you guys normally get recipes from? Are there two main strands?

Hannah Evans (11:34):

Yeah, I suppose there are recipe slots that appear across the paper.

Alessia Horwich (11:39):

Yeah, so that’s a good idea. Why don’t you tell me where they are?

Hannah Evans (11:42):

Yeah, so you have recipes in the weekend section, which appears on a Saturday with the newspaper. That section really values the takeaway that it gives readers. So it doesn’t necessarily just want to inform readers about something, but it wants to give them knowledge and skills that they can take away. So it’s a perfect place for recipes to exist.

Alessia Horwich (12:06):

Does that mean it’s more like a feature that’s saying, “here’s a new thing you can do to make your food fun and here’s two recipes”?

Hannah Evans (12:12):

Yeah, it’s quite advice. It’s got a lot of advice and takeaway in it. So it won’t just be a trend story. It’ll be a trend story and then how can you make it at home or how can you enrich and compliment your knowledge already that you have about it? So there will be recipes in there. There are recipes that appear in The Sunday Times Magazine and The Times Magazine, and then there are recipes that occasionally appear in T two, but T two is much more zeitgeist or trends focused. They won’t necessarily have a recipe – a long recipe. They might give one at the end, but it’s a bit more short form. It’s not something people go to for their recipes, and we don’t include them in there.

Alessia Horwich (12:57):

When does it end up actually having a recipe? Is it because the copy’s short or because you get more space or you need a panel or something?

Hannah Evans (13:02):

Something? Not necessarily. I think if we’re honing in on a dish and it’s not something, and it is something that people might make at home, then it’s like, “oh, do we have a recipe that we can put online at the end? Or we’ve got room for a recipe, can we add one in there?” But if it’s something Tony Turnbull wrote a piece on Spud Bros, which are those viral jacket potatoes that people queue up for, ultimately people aren’t going, we know people aren’t going to be making those at home, so there’s not really any value in adding any recipes there because it’s not, you are reading about it because it’s so viral and wow, and mind blogging. You’re not reading about it because you’re like, oh yeah, I want to make that at home. So that’s sort of how the decision is made. The magazines, so the Sunday Times Magazine, the Times Magazine, Tony looks after, but generally speaking, those come from books. So we have lots of publishers that we work with. If they don’t come with a book in the Sunday Times Magazine, there are cooks that we have on contract, so who have a quota of recipes. So Sky MacAlpine, we will have a number of recipes that they’ll do per month or per year for us.

Alessia Horwich (14:02):

Does that mean you’re filling slots between those contracted chefs with the books?

Hannah Evans (14:06):

Yes.

Alessia Horwich (14:06):

Yeah.

Hannah Evans (14:06):

Okay. Times Magazine, we like to be a little bit more reactive with the recipes. So we’ve got Rahul who won Bakeoff ages ago, so he does regular recipes for The Times Magazine. Then we have book exclusives. But also if Giles has been to a restaurant and said it was amazing, we will then approach them and say, “Hey, this is the restaurant that just won loads of awards, or this is a restaurant that Giles he loved his meal at. Can we do some recipes?” And then that’s positioned as we did it with the Lavery in South Kensington, the Lavery at home. So all of those recipes will be simplified and paired back, and then they’ll do six recipes from there.

Alessia Horwich (14:50):

Yeah. Would they ever approach you for that or is it always you going to them?

Hannah Evans (14:52):

Yes, but I mean it’s got to be I suppose it’s got to be a why like “why would we want recipes from that restaurant?” Another opportunity is an anniversary, if say a Rick Stein’s restaurant is turning like 50 then we might want recipes from there. So when those things happen, we’ll use it as a way in because we will position it as our restaurant critics’ Restaurant of the year, or if the Ritz was something you’d ever make at home, which obviously it’s not, it’s just one best restaurant at the national restaurant awards, we might then do a recipe feature, but obviously you’re not going to make the Ritz food.

Alessia Horwich (15:47):

So I guess, I mean a food PR really needs to be looking at that list. Well, I mean they should be there and understanding, but pitching it to you after from David Carter, from his recipes, from his Restaurant or something like that.

Hannah Evans (15:57):

We’ve done recipes actually in this Saturdays that we are recording this. So coming at The Times Magazine, we are doing recipes from him, his restaurants, so we are looking at the restaurants that people are talking about. I think the thing to understand is in that sort, there’s a bar, there’s quite a high bar. It can’t just be a small restaurant that no one has ever heard of.

Alessia Horwich (16:21):

Are you more receptive to regional pitches for that kind of thing?

Hannah Evans (16:25):

I mean, we’ve done them, so I suppose they need to be restaurants of a calibre. So we did recipes from Ruth Hanson’s restaurant and she won the Great British menu and then Giles went up and reviewed there and it blew his mind. She does the whole operation herself. And then we did an interview with her and then we did her recipes for at home – her Sunday lunch. So it’s not restricted in any way to London. It is though. It needs to have a particular level of recognition for us to do it.

Alessia Horwich (18:04):

When you’re saying “we’ll reach out”, how did PRs get on your list to reach out to you?

Hannah Evans (18:12):

I suppose, we get so many emails and just because you haven’t got a reply doesn’t mean it hasn’t registered. And I think looking out for people who are regularly getting in touch with things that are good. And then will you work on, maybe I’ll ask for some information and features one of your clients in a bigger piece that I’m writing, I suppose email is the frontline.

Alessia Horwich (18:40):

Is there anything that food PRs do to you sometimes that really endears them to you? Is there any ways that they can help you in really small ways that actually really makes a massive difference to you? Something that I used to notice is when prs were really realistic about what you could give them.

Hannah Evans (18:54):

Yeah, I think that’s a very good way of putting it. I think that I get pictures that are clients being positioned and just asking, “oh, we’ve got this client we’d love if you could feature them”. And then I’m like, well, “why do you think the time should feature this person? What is special about your client to our audience?” But I think, yeah, definitely being realistic about it and understanding when things don’t go very well or maybe just not being so transactional about things. There are so many events I’ll go to or meetups that will happen. It won’t just be because I’m going to write about it. I think being realistic is definitely a very good one.

Alessia Horwich (19:42):

What is it when a recipe book, I mean I assume you don’t always get hard copies, but what is it that makes you go, “yes, we’re definitely going to do this one?” Is it like the calibre of the person who’s written it or…

Hannah Evans (19:53):

I think it’s a really mixed bag. I definitely think sending a hard copy instantly puts you in a better position. For me, and I know for Sidonie, she definitely prefers to get hard books because there are weeks where we’re like, right, okay, what are we going to put in the magazine or in the paper. And I think that because we like to be so reactive and it’s a daily newspaper or weekly newspaper, we don’t plan as far ahead as traditionally some people have.

Alessia Horwich (20:25):

Yeah, I mean, what is your max lead time?

Hannah Evans (20:27):

I know Style works very far in advance. The Times Magazine a couple of weeks. The Weekend is week to week. It’s daily on T two. So we like to have slots booked up. I have a schedule of what we’re doing for The Times Magazine that Tony and I work and that has booked in recipe slots for the next few months. But there’s always space to put stuff in. And I think, so having the hard copy is definitely a really good thing. And if it’s Jose B’s new book, we’ll go out our way to make sure we get the exclusive. We want to feature people like that. But then there have been loads of chefs who aren’t household names that we then do their books. And I think that starts with something as simple as having really good photographs because we don’t always shoot things. It’s expensive.

Alessia Horwich (21:21):

I mean, do you ever shoot things?

Hannah Evans (21:22):

Really? We do. We do Romas Ford shoots a lot for The Times Magazine. But yeah, having really nice pictures means he doesn’t have to do that. So having great photographs and rare being recipes that we can group and pull out, and it could be a fish book, but you’ve got 20 fish book of a hundred recipes and there are 20 with tinned tuna in. We are like, great. Okay, the only tinned recipes that you need, that’s a regular theme. The only insert ingredient recipes that you ever need.

Alessia Horwich (21:53):

So if a PR has a book and can pull out some groups for you and just alert you to that, send you the hard copy and alert you in the release saying, I know you like to group things, check out pages 3, 6, 9, 12,

Hannah Evans (22:05):

Whatever. But also, I mean just sending it anyway because tends those themes that tend to be things that we pick. So it doesn’t even need to be like, oh, there are these things in there. But I mean, yeah, that’s a really good idea. Things you can put on toast for fried egg recipes. It just goes, the list goes on. If it’s things that we know people and our readers will make and the pictures are good, it’s always worth it.

Alessia Horwich (22:26):

So somebody has decided they really want their recipes in The Times or The Sunday Times and they’re pitching it to you and it’s going to be brilliant because you’re going to tell me exactly what would be in that pitch email to make you say “yes”. So just very quickly, what does it look like when it’s a really great pitch for you for recipe? What elements do you want to see in there? What information needs to be at the top, etc?

Hannah Evans (22:48):

I think being realistic, first of all, I think, I’m sure everyone would like their recipes in The Times, but sometimes I think if you do get pictures from very small unknown or if it’s a small restaurant, I want to know what, have the critics gone there and said it’s amazing? Has it had award recognition recently? Why? Is there a reason that I need to have heard from this place? Are you having loads of notable people going and raving about it? So if it’s kind of a small restaurant, but yeah, I guess the peg. So why now? Why do we want the recipes now? I want you to assure me that the restaurant is able to adapt the recipes into really simple recipes.

Alessia Horwich (23:37):

You guys are obviously across all things food. I mean there feasibly could be a little restaurant that’s had a visit from someone you maybe haven’t heard about it that’s going to get, they’ve been alerted to the fact they’re going to be in this awards thing and they’re doing really well. And some famous people have come recently and somebody could just drop you an email and be like, I don’t know if you’ve heard about this.

Hannah Evans (23:54):

But yeah. And I think we would then look into it and see. I mean, so there was a restaurant called Catch in Devon, I think it was. Oh, that Giles Corrin went to and said it was his favourite restaurant of the year. And he does say that quite often. And then we said, oh, out. He said, it’s amazing, it’s fish, our readers like fish. I don’t even know who was doing their PR, but then we opened, there was a channel of communication and then we came up with that recipe feature together. We did it when Henry Harris opened Bouchon Racine. He doesn’t have, I mean often when these restaurants are opening, if we know they’re going to be big, we’ll know the chefs that we’ll kind of just go straight to the source.

Alessia Horwich (24:32):

I guess that restaurants that have been open for a while as well can think seasonally and think about their expertise. Like open fire cooking in the summer is probably more relevant or that kind of thing.

Hannah Evans (24:42):

Yeah, I think there’s got to be a why are we doing it now? What makes the restaurant interesting right now?

Alessia Horwich (24:49):

And for books you’ll need to know, I guess when it’s coming out.

Hannah Evans (24:52):

Yeah, when it’s coming out. I think if it’s a big famous person, we try and get, be the first in, get the exclusive. But yeah, we generally want to be first when it comes to recipe books in the magazines.

Alessia Horwich (25:05):

For you, what’s the main takeaway If a PR coming to you and saying, “what’s the one thing I really need to know about pitching recipes to The Times?” What is it?

Hannah Evans (25:13):

I want you to pull out exactly what is interesting about the thing you’re pitching? So the restaurant, is it because it’s in an interesting neighbourhood? Is it because it’s doing something different with particular ingredients? We did a feature that also, there was a very similar feature in The Observer food monthly on rotisserie chicken. And there were so many rotisserie chicken shops opening and a PR got in touch and said, don’t know if you’ve noticed all these things. Here are some of my clients that are doing it. Here are some other clients that are doing it. G Fancy a feature. I can put you in touch. So I think pulling out exactly why your client is interesting, that would make a headline, rather than just saying, “hello, please can you write about my clients?” Definitely don’t ask me to review a restaurant, because we have restaurant critics and so the other journalists I work with and Nester restaurant critics don’t review restaurants. So I think that’s quite like a sloppy…

Alessia Horwich (26:07):

Do people pitch recipes and say, come and review the restaurant as well?

Hannah Evans (26:09):

No, they say, “hello, we’d like you to, yeah, they’re like, do you want to come and try the restaurant in exchange for a review?” And that’s just such a kind of easy fumble, you know. So I would definitely say that. Also, think about that I’m not just interested in you pitching a restaurant because it serves a new cuisine or you’re pitching a book because it’s a new cuisine. I’m also interested in changes to the way we eat, not just the type of food we’re eating. So we did a big piece on Dorian because it had a really interesting approach to how it treated its loyal customers rather than, it wasn’t about the food they were serving, it was how they were working with their customers. There was a big news story in late night dining and how we are moving towards eating later in the evening. That wasn’t about what we’re eating because there were loads of different restaurants that are doing it. I did a piece on the food that people are willing to queue up for in this culture and normalisation of the fact that we’ll queue for a bakery, we’ll queue for a sandwich or we’ll queue for a loaf of bread, we’ll queue for a salad now. So it’s not just what people are eating. We want to know what the changes in how people are eating. Not every story comes from a pitch. It’s also our job to cultivate our own ideas and farm ideas.

Alessia Horwich (27:29):

But I guess that is also leading into this new kind of breed of story recipe books that are about the way that we eat, including recipes. Kind of like memoir recipe, like the one that B Wilson’s just written.

Hannah Evans (27:40):

Yes. Yeah. I don’t think we would ever extract that though.

Alessia Horwich (27:43):

No.

Hannah Evans (27:43):

It might be like, “oh, so-and-so’s written a book about that. Should we do a little piece and talk to her about it?” Rather than being like, oh, we’re going to extract her chapter on this particularly personal thing and then a recipe that’s just a bit too niche for us.

Alessia Horwich (27:58):

Okay.

Hannah Evans (27:58):

Yeah. I would say a pet peeve that I have is people who pitch things in my Instagram DMs or on WhatsApp because there are loads of PRs who I’m friends with, and I don’t mind WhatsApping them. And if we’re working on something, and it’s a quick question, but I do endlessly get invites and pitches in my DMs and it’s from people I don’t really know. And it might be when I’m on holiday, or I just want to switch off, and I really try to get off the idea of doing work on my phone.

Alessia Horwich (28:28):

Yeah, I think all of us are trying to do that.

Hannah Evans (28:29):

Definitely.

Alessia Horwich (28:30):

PRs hear it. You hear it here, do not do it.

Hannah Evans (28:33):

Or just say, “Hey, I sent you an email about something. Don’t want to talk about it on here, but do you mind if you just get back to me?”

Alessia Horwich (28:39):

Yeah.

Hannah Evans (28:40):

That’s the maximum. I’ll respond. Otherwise, it just really irritates me.

Alessia Horwich (28:45):

Okay.

Hannah Evans (28:46):

Okay. Right. I feel bad about ending on something like that.

Alessia Horwich (28:48):

No, no, no. Yeah, I mean, that’s just solid advice.

Hannah Evans (28:52):

Yeah, I think so.
