Since grating carrots from the age of 8, kitchen life has become my life. The passion my mother had for her cooking & baking, has rubbed off on me. Although my food is slightly more green & with much less saturated fat, I thank my mum for showing me the way and allowing me to LOVE food in all its glory.
I was brought up on a farm and the youngest of 7 children (all boys except me). I have such fond memories of mum separating the cream from the milk early morning and late afternoon. Tons of froth would sit on the freshly churned milk and I would spoon a heap of warm foam into a cup and sprinkle it with sugar as a treat. I would also watch my mum make her own butter – sometimes complaining about her sore wrists from kneading the salt into the butter in an enormous big bowl. I quietly understood the labour pains of kitchen work.
Each day I realise that all the days I had spent with her in the kitchen, I have become her. I scurry around the kitchen – just like she did. I have a love for my kitchen – just like she had.
Today, I’m an ethical, nature loving, healthy eating, vegetarian foodie & keen photographer. I am passionate about sustainable living habits. I develop all my recipes from raw & natural ingredients; avoiding processed foods at all cost.
Quality over quantity is what I wholeheartedly represent.
I want to share my journey in all that I love and stand for; in a culinary and creative capacity.
Enjoy my dream & journey with me!!
