{{short description|Luxembourgish cookbook writer and television presenter}} '''Anne Faber''' is a Luxembourgish writer and television presenter.
==Biography== She took an interest in cooking from an early age, purchasing cookbooks rather than novels for leisure reading. She studied English literature and film at the University of Kent, graduating in 2006, before earning a master's degree in English at University College London in 2007 with a dissertation on food in the novels of Roald Dahl. The following year she completed a postgraduate course in journalism from City University London.<ref name=ak3>{{cite web|url=http://www.editions-schortgen.lu/FR/Catalogue/Detail.asp?Id=274|title=Anne's Kitchen - HSH - My Luxemburg|publisher=Editions Schortgen|accessdate=9 November 2016 |language=}}</ref><ref name=lw8q>{{cite web|url=http://www.wort.lu/en/community/eight-questions-with-anne-faber-of-anne-s-kitchen-here-s-one-i-made-earlier-541a9bddb9b3988708066dc6|title=Here's one I made earlier!|publisher=Luxemburger Wort|date=18 September 2014|accessdate=9 November 2016 |language=}}</ref>

While still in London, she worked as a reporter and television producer for APTN, ZDF and RTL. In 2010, to keep track of her recipes, she started her Anne's Kitchen blog, receiving an award from ''Food & Wine'' in 2013.<ref name=ak3/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foodandwine.com/slideshows/fws-digital-food-awards-2013/5|title=F&W's Digital Food Awards 2013|publisher=Food & Wine|accessdate=9 November 2016|language=|archive-date=9 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161209195357/http://www.foodandwine.com/slideshows/fws-digital-food-awards-2013/5|url-status=dead}}</ref> She quickly went on to write a cookbook in parallel with a 12-part television series on RTL television, presenting British dishes to Luxembourgers.<ref name=fb>{{cite web|url=http://www.foodbloggerconnect.com/anne-faber-annes-kitchen/|title=Anne Faber of Anne's Kitchen|publisher=Food Blogger Connect|accessdate=9 November 2016|language=|archive-date=10 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910011758/http://www.foodbloggerconnect.com/anne-faber-annes-kitchen/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In an interview with ''Luxemburger Wort'' she explained:
<blockquote>I really always enjoyed British food ... It has a bad reputation but has a lot in common with Luxembourg food in the way it's humble food made with simple ingredients. It's comfort food for cold days. All the products we use in Luxembourg are the same as the British use. I wanted to share my love for my new home through their food.<ref name=lw8q/></blockquote>
September 2014 saw the publication of her second book, ''Anne's Kitchen: Barcelona, Istanbul, Berlin'' which also led to a second television series with ten episodes covering the three cities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.editions-schortgen.lu/EN/Catalogue/Detail.asp?Id=247|title=Anne's Kitchen - Barcelona-Istanbul-Berlin|publisher=Editions Schortgen|accessdate=9 November 2016 |language=}}</ref> In April 2015, in connection with an international book tour, Faber was invited to make a presentation at the Luxembourg Embassy in Washington, D.C.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wort.lu/en/lifestyle/anne-s-kitchen-on-tour-anne-takes-her-kitchen-to-washington-551f84f80c88b46a8ce56c82|title=Anne takes her kitchen to Washington |publisher=Luxemburger Wort|date=4 April 2015|accessdate=9 November 2016 |language=}}</ref> In 2016, back in Luxembourg, she published her third book, ''Anne's Kitchen, Home Sweet Home...My Luxembourg'', in both English and German editions.
