Absolute Press Company Profile

Absolute Press was founded by Jon Croft in 1979 and began by publishing collections of recipes from the UK’s top chefs. Whilst today this seems par for the course for many food publishers, at the time it was a radical move – most chefs didn’t want to let go of their secrets, but they revealed them to Absolute Press and with them we formed many wonderful collections of recipes in these early years.

Between Publisher Jon Croft and Commissioning Editor Meg Avent there is almost 50 years of combined food and drink publishing experience. Behind them is a team of creative talent and editorial knowledge and a singular but broad vision to continue to excel at what we know and love… and a conviction to continue to eat and drink well. And on that particular journey we very much hope you might wish to join us.
