My Story

I guess I am pretty much like a lot of people. There are times when I enjoy, even adore food and other times when I don’t. We all have a complex relationship with food that began with the nurturing we received in the womb.

In my 20’s I enjoyed watching cooking programmes but in reality, lived on takeaways and ready meals. I began exploring cooking properly in my 30’s when I had my kids and weaned them on homemade foods on a very very tight budget.

From there my pleasure in cooking for others has grown. As we all have a complex relationship with food I think it is time we all started being more honest about those truths and that in turn will be healing for ourselves and others.

I am a mother of 2, Hannah and Hamid and have 2 crazy cats called 2Pac and Ginger. I suffered from mental health issues in my 20’s,30’s  and 40’s but thankfully I no longer attend psychiatric services.

Personally I think my hormones caused a lot of the problems, but that is post for another day…

But I feel it is good to be honest about these things to help to try and remove the stigma surrounding mental health.

I am currently studying a Nutrition course for my own personal development and to help others. You can expect tasty meal plans, recipes and other exciting things to come in the future such as our app.
