I have always been involved in the world of food… raised a farmer's daughter in Yorkshire, the provenance and making of food has always been an important part of everyday life, and at the earliest opportunity started working in kitchens and bakeries.

​
After graduating from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Literature, I moved into the world of publishing but always hankered after a return to the kitchen! I decided to take the plunge, packed my bags and moved to America to enrol at the Baking Institute of San Francisco to train professionally in baking- specifically bread and pastry.

 

Following completion of formal training I have worked in artisan bakeries in both America and the UK, before moving into event catering, specialising in pastry and desserts for a number of prestigious venues. I now offer bespoke classes to pass on my skills, in addition to private and event catering.
