Sheherazade Goldsmith
Sheherazade Ventura Goldsmith (née Bentley; 14 March 1974) is a British environmentalist, jeweller, and columnist.
During the 1990s, Goldsmith worked in the fashion industry, and after 2000 engaged in environmental activism undertaking a variety of green initiatives starting with an organic food business that she ran in London until 2002. In 2007 she edited a guide to eco-friendly living, A Slice of Organic Life: Get Closer to the Soil Without Going the Whole Hog, which she followed a year later by publishing a how-to guide for celebrating Christmas in an environmentally friendly way, called A Greener Christmas.
In June 2013 she launched a "concept jewellery" label Loquet London with her former friend and model Laura Bailey. After a falling out, the two ended their partnership both as friends and business associates. However, Laura Bailey's name is still leveraged to lend the company greater credibility.
Goldsmith frequently contributed as a columnist to various national newspapers and other UK publications, but does not any longer.
Goldsmith was born at King's College Hospital in Camberwell, London, to John Bentley, a financier and entrepreneur, and Viviane Ventura, a British actress, who successfully brought a paternity suit against him. She was privately educated at both the French Lycée in London and Aiglon College.
Goldsmith was known as Sheherazade Bentley prior to marriage, her pen name in newspaper columns such as The Sunday Times. Since her divorce she has continued as a writer and spokeswoman for various environmental causes.
In 2000, while pregnant with her first child, she and her friend Serena Cook opened Deli'Organic, an organic delicatessen in Battersea's so-called "Nappy Valley". The café also soon became one of the first of its kind to set up what W called a "thriving business delivering fresh, organic baby food" to interested mothers. Goldsmith cooked children's food from the shop's kitchen and served customers for nearly two years, her deli's best-seller being the full English breakfast: restaurant critic A. A. Gill said in a review, "The Deli'Organic is, despite everything, quite fun in a homespun, uncomfortable... way." After the birth of her second child in 2002, Goldsmith closed down the enterprise.[citation needed]
Goldsmith has contributed articles on environmental concerns, organic food and products, style and beauty, and other topics to a variety of national newspapers and publications. She wrote a regular column for The Sunday Times on organic food and dining from October 2002 to March 2003. She has also written columns for The Daily Telegraph and has been a food contributor to Harper's Bazaar magazine. Goldsmith has also contributed columns and recipes to various media organisations and brand names such as Sophie Grigson's The Fairtrade Everyday Cookbook, Waitrose, and the UKTV Food channel.
