About

I’ve always loved cooking and sharing food with the people around me. Although my career took me into fashion design, where I’ve worked for nearly 20 years, cooking has always been a big part of my life.

I’ve always been the person making something for friends, sharing recipes with colleagues or bringing food along to gatherings. Taking part in MasterChef only confirmed what I’d already begun to realise — I wanted cooking and creativity to play a much bigger part in my life.

I cook a little bit of everything, although you’ll find plenty of curries here, inspired in part by my family’s Indian roots. I also wrote CURRY UP, my own cookbook, celebrating some of the curries I love to cook.

But this site isn’t just about curry. You’ll find everything from slow-cooked comfort food and family favourites to cakes, puddings, vegetables and recipes inspired by places I’ve travelled and food I’ve enjoyed along the way.
