Trish Deseine (formerly Patricia Stevens) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1964 and moved to Paris in 1987. She was educated at Belfast Royal Academy and the University of Edinburgh where she read modern languages. In 2000 she was approached by the French publisher, Marabout to write a cookbook. Her first book "Petits plats entre amis" was published in 2001 and won the Ladurée and SEB prizes. Her second book, "Je veux du chocolat!" (2002) won a World Gourmand Cookbook Award and has sold over 500,000 copies to date. Subsequent books have included "Mes petits plats préférés" (2003); "Fêtes Maison" (2003) about party food; "J'en veux encore" (2004) about food for children and "Du caramel plein la bouche" (2005).
