鈥淚 was serving scones at the age of 16 in a tea shop in the New Forest. Yes, it鈥檚 jam first!鈥�

鈥淪cones seem to have followed me around. I worked for the National Trust for ten years, so famous for their scones there鈥檚 even a book about them. And you might find a scone on the menu at one of the outlets across the campus. They always sell!

As you鈥檇 expect, doing my job I have a passion for food, and this extends to both at home and work. I wanted to do a job with purpose and with Eatwise I鈥檝e been able to do that. I wanted to lead and press for dishes using fresh, seasonal and healthy ingredients that help our community to thrive. The creativity that comes out of the test kitchen is amazing. I can鈥檛 believe that it鈥檚 been a year since we launched, but I think we鈥檙e making good progress with our mission to provide mindful food for thriving minds.

While I don鈥檛 get to cook at work, which is probably for the best, at home I like to entertain! Having people I love gather around the table, enjoying something I鈥檝e created for dinner brings me a lot of joy. I particularly like preparing Spanish food, there鈥檚 something about tapas that brings people together. But any food that鈥檚 informal, fresh and bold in flavour is fun to prepare.鈥�
