About
Anyone who knows me will tell you how much food excites me... I get a buzz from just reading and talking about it. Let alone actually cooking it but most especially of all eating it! I'm a born and bred Australian with a very multicultural background - my father is French and my mother is half Chinese and Irish – not surprisingly as a result of this upbringing I became a dedicated foodie from quite a young age.
This blog is a result of my new passion of finding chefs that can be flexible and work with my intolerances rather than serve up meals that were prepped hours if not days before.
