I was fortunate to start cooking and develop a love of good food at an early age. Both my mother and aunt are great cooks and even now are a source of inspiration and challenge to me.

Much of my working life has been dedicated to coaching and developing individuals and teams to better their performance and improve their self-confidence. Alongside a very successful corporate career my love and knowledge of cooking and food continued to grow into a lifelong passion.

Vanilla & Spice was born from teaching friends to cook, sharing my knowledge and passion and inspiring others into cooking great food. Now I take great pleasure in putting my energy and experience full time, into my passion - teaching people to cook confidently at home.

Come and share my passion and enjoy learning to cook with me.
