ABOUT
At a young age I applied to be a commis chef at a luxury
coastal hotel on the Isles of Scilly and never looked back.
Working with the freshest possible produce, local fishermen
walking into the kitchen with fresh lobsters caught earlier that day and
working under an inspirational Head Chef started my career of nicely.
On my culinary journey I was lucky enough to work within a
variety of catering establishments from Michelin star restaurants, large
hotels, premium gastro pubs as well as leading the food operation for a
nationwide entertainment company.
It was then in the Spring of 2018 my time had finally come
to create Gourmet Food Direct.
The challenge was that I knew I couldn’t wait any longer and
started the business in my tiny home kitchen whilst juggling raising two
wonderful children on my own. Many of my days still consist of some food prep,
a school run, lots of cooking, packaging, another school run, my sons football
training, food deliveries, family dinner time, more cooking, settling the
children, more cooking and so on!
My passion for food runs deep and nothing was going to stop
me creating dishes for people when I felt they deserved a step above other
options available to them
Cooking is so simple but it just needs to be done with care,
love & passion
