Winner of the Sophie Coe Prize for food history, Di Murrell writes for French travel magazines, and Petits Propos Culinaires. Di and Tam Murrell worked a pair of canal boats, loading up with barrels of lime pulp which they transported from the London docks to the wharf in Hemel Hempstead belonging to Rose & Sons, for Rose's Lime Cordial.They made many trips with heavy loads like sand, grain, coal or lime, and Di learnt the value of slow cooking. For several years, they carried grain from Tilbury Docks on the river Thames to Coxes mill on the river Wey.Now they live in France and London.
