Miranda Shearer

Miranda Rose Shearer (born 11 May 1982) is a British journalist and author. She is the daughter of John Shearer, a former BBC employee and Tamasin Day-Lewis, author of a number of cookbooks and is a resident of Somerset.[1]

Miranda Shearer has written two books. She wrote the first book My Turn To Cook at the age of 18 for her former boyfriend to take to university.[1] It was re-published under the name Cheap as Chips, Better Than Toast: Easy Recipes for Students.[1] The book is for students missing home-cooked food at university. It has gone on to become a bestseller, and a common sight in many student kitchens.[citation needed]

Her second book was written for her sister. Big Secrets for not so Little Girls is described as "dazed and confused teenagers to twentysomethings, full of non-patronising advice on how to survive as a girl".[1]

After studying Hispanic Studies and History of Art at Bristol University she worked for Star magazine in New York, and currently writes for the Western Gazette (Northcliffe) based in Yeovil, as the reporter for the Somerton and Langport edition.[citation needed]
