Born in England under a curious star, Lara can usually be found in front of her computer or with her nose in a book, getting enthusiastic about something obscure. When it comes to treats, novelties and objects of desire she is decidedly unpatriotic, and instead of trusting Selfridges, prefers to trawl the globe for traditional, bizarre, rare, nostalgic or delicious items, each with its own story, to give her something to talk about at dinner parties. Exploring the new has always been her favourite game, whether during her travels in Romania, Poland, France and Germany or at home in Richmond, Surrey. There is only one thing she will never try, and that is a diet.
