About Me
I'm a Holistic Nutrition counsellor by day, but every chance I get I'm in the kitchen dreaming up my next culinary caper! Baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart. My passion
is re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any “homemade” food, even when labelled as "naughty", is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.

A medical problem in my early adult life left me intolerant to caffeine, alcohol, meat, dairy, egg yolks, oils, nuts or anything high in oil or fat content – ironic since I used to be a carnivore weighing over 200 lbs in my teens! Now, the focus is on enjoying what I can eat – not just eating because I can! Read more
