A
long with compiling the food pages for
North & South each issue, food director
Simon Farrell-Green also manages food
stories and events – including Restaurant of
the Year – for our sister title Metro. And when he’s not
doing that, he’s the editor of HOME New Zealand.
Food and architecture, Farrell-Green reports, make
for an enjoyable mix: the two disciplines are both a
personal and professional obsession, and have been
a constant in his career. “My wife likes to say I don’t
actually have a job,” he admits. “Apparently getting to tell
people about the two things I like most doesn’t count.”
Farrell-Green’s first job out of university was at Metro,
where he finished up as food editor before leaving for
London via eight months’ eating in Southeast Asia and
Europe; in Blighty, he landed a job on British Esquire.
After returning to Auckland in the middle of the GFC,
he freelanced for seven years, working on everything
from feature stories to columns, events to copywriting,
as well as running Eat Here Now, a website that
reviewed restaurants. In 2012, he published Food Heroes,
a book on artisan food producers in New Zealand.
It turns out the financial vagaries of freelancing and
small children – he and wife Hannah now have Ira, 4,
and Marti, 2 – don’t mix so well. At the end of 2016,
he was very grateful to be appointed to the editorship
of HOME, which was something of a lifelong dream;
and at the end of last year, his role was expanded to
include food for Metro and North & South. “All three are
terrific magazines that have stayed true to what they
do,” he says. “It’s a privilege to write for all of them.”
