She is a previous editor of two magazines - <em><strong>Wine</strong><strong> </strong></em> and  <em><strong>Business Traveller </strong></em> (US edition) - as well as being a prolific freelance writer, contributing to newspapers and magazines in the UK, US and Australia. </p><p>Although she spends much of her working life slaving over a hot computer, her preferred environment is the kitchen, which she likes to fill with delectable aromas and lots of friends. </p><p>Her other main habitat is the restaurant.  If forced to live on a desert island, she'd insist on two things: a lemon (makes everything taste better) and her library of food books, the theory being that, if you can't eat it, you can at least dream about it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>  <p><a href="http://www.james.cridland.net/" target="_blank" title="James Cridland"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2067/2480399672_d762c07b29_m.jpg" border="0" hspace="8" vspace="8" align="right" /></a></p><p> <strong>James Cridland</strong> is Head of Future Media &amp; Technology at <em><strong>BBC Audio &amp; Music Interactive</strong></em>.
