Q&A

What three ingredients do you always have in your fridge?: Halloumi, it lasts forever in the pack and makes a great salad when thrown together with a few storecupboard staples. Lemon curd, for when I need a sweet treat, and milk- I can't go a day without tea and cereal!
Who do you admire, and what would you cook for them?: I grew up watching Delia so it would have to be her. I would invite her round for a big family Sunday roast, and finish off with her chocolate bread and butter pudding.
Who inspired you to start cooking and fuelled your love of food?: I remember cooking with my mum from a young age. She is a great baker and would always let me make jam tarts or sausage rolls from the pastry scraps. My travels as an air hostess gave me a love for new cuisines. I love a good spicy curry and Mexican food.
