About Lucy
I am a musician/musicologist and have worked all my life in Higher Education, first at Cambridge University, whilst writing my doctorate on French Baroque Music, and latterly for over 20 years at RWCMD, where I was Head of Postgraduate studies and Research. When I went to the Head of Finance suggesting that I should enhance my pension, she strongly advised against that and recommended buying a student house: so I bought 11 Library St as my pension in 2002.
My students finally persuaded me that I should write a cookery book, which I did: The Grain-Free Vegetarian (2015) (see www.grainfreevegetarian.com) and my eldest son, Sam, took fantastic pictures as he has done for this website. I have two other sons: Alex, a head chef in London, and Louis, a mathematician specialising in AI and Probability. I live a five-minute bike ride from Library St with my composer/pianist husband Andrew Wilson-Dickson, who very generously helps me look after my student house. My special interests are music (especially French), food, walking, gardening and my family (which also includes my large number of ex-students).
