She loves the emphasis on making vegetables an exciting feature of a Mediterranean meal, if not the centre of it. She feels that cooking is alchemy – it’s about taking the most unassuming ingredients and turning them into something truly memorable. This magical transformation is what excites her!

She has also owned her own successful café for over three years, where she gained significant knowledge of budgeting and cost control. She has now stepped away from this, as she felt she had taken the business as far as it could go – the next step would have required significant investment, which she wasn’t quite ready for at this stage of her life.
