I am Leith’s trained with 20 years of experience working around the world. All my adult life I have been a passionate foodie - never long from flicking through a cookbook and able to turn any conversation into a chat about food. My travels are only complete if I have talked my way into a few local kitchens and come home with a new recipe, a weird and wonderful gadget or range of spices! Feeding others and entertaining is a big part of what I love, and I take a great pleasure in developing delicious, memorable meals for clients’ special occasions or in my own home.

Having qualified at Leith's Cookery School I cut my teeth in the culinary world on luxury yachts, high end chalets, film & TV sets and private homes around the world. I loved combining travel with developing my skills and picking up influences from the environments I found myself in.

I am very confident working with a huge range of cuisines - including Modern British, Middle Eastern, Burmese, Sri Lankan, Indian and Thai - all with a healthy and innovative twist. I have developed my own style, characterised by big flavours and vibrant colours, using the best seasonal ingredients sourced locally and from across the U.K.

I live in Long Compton in the Cotswolds with my husband Dave and daughters Mimi & Marnie, who share my passion for travel and food and inspire me every day. In the kitchen I’m usually accompanied by my fantastic assistant Matilda who brings a smile to the face of anyone she meets and puts that extra sparkle and love into each meal.
