Cooking With My Heart & Soul
My earliest food recollection is watching my mother and grandmother spend Saturday afternoons creating fabulous dishes then seeing the pleasure they experienced through sharing the meal in the evening.
“Cooking for others gives me such pleasure and I want you to experience the same feeling…”
They taught me that it’s not how fancy or complicated the meal – it’s more about the ambience of the home and the relaxed attitude of a host or hostess who enjoys creating good food and sharing it with friends and family. This is why I want to show you how to create fabulous meals without a great deal of fuss.
I’m always humbled when people accept an invitation to join me at the dinner table. Cooking for others gives me such pleasure and I want you to experience the same feeling – whether you’re cooking a meal for your family or a dinner party for twenty, if you feel confident the experience will be fantastic.
It is a common misunderstanding that entertaining at home is expensive and time-consuming – I am about to show you that neither is the case.
Getting to know your local fishmonger, butcher and greengrocer, shopping in season and using fresh ingredients will make your cooking so much easier.
I believe that creating wonderful food and sharing it with people you love is the essence of great entertaining at home. Food is a conversation and it brings people together in a fun-filled and relaxed environment.
I look forward to having you join me to share the experience of cooking Real Food.
