Miranda started her career as a food, travel and culture journalist, writing for publications such as Financial Times, Vogue, Urban Junkies, How To Spend It and Harper's Bazaar before she founded TOAST, now known as At The Table, in 2013. She has since curated over 80 events and published an independent food magazine, as well as founding a food market in Bermondsey. A born-and-bred Londoner, her favourite restaurants are to be found under railway arches and along the narrow streets of Soho. In 2019, Miranda launches a podcast with Anna Sulan Masing based on their sell-out series of events, Voices At The Table. The series will also be going on the road, with events lined up in Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh and New York, alongside monthly events in London.
