“I love teaching and sharing my knowledge about food! Cooking is so rewarding and food makes the world go round! Good food is about the love of cooking, it is about the time taken to decide what you want to cook, it is about been aware of your seasons, sustainability and ethical eating!
Enjoy shopping for fresh and local ingredients and finally sitting down and savouring that dish and sharing it with family and friends. For me, Nose to Tail, Sustainability and ethical eating is absolutely key!
We firmly believe in preparing our students to follow this ethos and we also teach them about plant-based cooking and lifestyle. Been able to teach our students and guide them into a better understanding of food, is truly fantastic!
Apart from the obvious necessity of food needed to survive. Food embodies celebration and bringing people together. I could not imagine my life without my absolute love for food and being able to share this with everyone, especially our students!”

Make a Béchamel sauce by making a roux with equal quantities of flour and Olive oil (we like Morgenster) – so 1 ½ tablespoons and 1 ½ tablespoons of plain flour
Once your roux has formed – slowly add two cups of warm Almond Milk – keep stirring until you have a nice thick bechamel
To flavour the bechamel – season generously with Salt (we like Oryx Salt), 1 teaspoon of finely chopped Thyme and 1 clove of fresh garlic crushed
1 x cup Toasted Cashew nuts – Finely chopped – not ground – as you want a crunch in your lasagne
1 x cup of peas (fresh) – blanched
1 ½ x cups of Napolitano sauce (this can be made quickly by blending a tin of whole peeled tomato, a handful of Fresh basil, ½ cup of Local Good Quality Olive Oil (we like Morgenster and generous seasoning of Oryx Salt and Black Pepper and 1 teaspoon of honey
4 large courgette, cut into large strips using a potato peeler and drained on paper towels
