Suzanne Pollak

Suzanne Pollak is a chef credited in this catalogue as co-author, alongside Bernard Cornwell, of Uhtred's Feast, a companion volume to Cornwell's Last Kingdom series. The book combines three original Uhtred short stories -- covering his first childhood victory, his time as an advisor to Alfred, and a later-life battle -- with a collection of Anglo-Saxon-inspired recipes drawn from the world of the novels, giving fans of the series a way to engage with its setting beyond the main thirteen-book story arc.

Pollak's contribution sits in a well-established food-writing tradition of building recipes and menus around a fictional or historical world, translating the material culture of Uhtred's ninth- and tenth-century England into dishes a modern reader can actually cook. Because her role in Uhtred's Feast is specifically as the food and recipe half of the book, working alongside Cornwell's fiction, this bio focuses on that collaboration rather than reconstructing a wider culinary career from outside sources that cannot be directly tied to this credit.
