As the saying goes, do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. My transition into the culinary arts is a true testament to this quote. When I was a young girl, running home from school to try new recipes and dishes before my parents got home was my escapism. And as time went on, I was consumed with an intense fascination for food, whether it be the artistic element of plating dishes or the scientific nature of baking and pastry.
The more my social life developed, the more I realised my love language was feeding people, because engaging with your loved ones over a delectable yet sentimental meal is the highest form of indulgence to me. And it was with this realisation that I decided I wanted to provide this experience to as many people’s lives as possible in my lifetime.
With this understanding, every single event that I have hosted in my career has been entirely unique to that client. From the menus to the venue or the timings of each course, every single detail is executed with the client’s desires in mind, to ensure they have the most memorable experience.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
About story-telling. This is the passion. I love to use ingredients and techniques that have been influenced by my family in Jamaica and Mauritius.
I learned to cook at...
All my family's homes. Watching and learning in my youth has influenced my cooking immensely and then, I refined my skills at Le Cordon Bleu London.
A cooking secret...
Music. This allows me to enjoy and connect with the process. And if there's love and passion from the chef, you'll taste in from the very first bite.
