My working life as cookery teacher, caterer and now as a writer and speaker, began in the 1980s after a happy first career as a high school teacher of English, History and Drama.
Along the way I had many occasions to change the focus of my working life, developing new expertise and shining the spotlight onto different aspects of my skill set
My other obsession is to travel, so my recipes originate from many destinations. My wonderlust, has taught me a fundamental life lesson: people from other parts of the world may seem exotic but really we are all the same. We come together around the table to share stories and connect.
