Having to wake up early on Saturdays to get fresh ingredients from the market, I watched with intrigue, my mum interacting with stall holders, negotiating deals, touching and smelling each ingredient. Sometimes a visit to the market could take almost 6 hrs, due to mums negotiations and also wanting the very best of ingredients.
I watched mum handpick quality ingredients, mix spices to create amazing seasoning and marinating with mixed herbs to create amazing flavours.
My passion for cooking was heightened and I began creating flavours. Before long I was cooking for a minimum of 8 people each night for dinner. I enjoy watching people love what I have created. My favourite Uncle will visit everyday for his share of dinner. I always made sure I had some reserved for him. Good food does bring people together and it does ignite all their senses.
I love sourcing good quality ingredients, exploring new ingredients, creating flavours, infusions and sharing my passion, thanks to my mum, my inspiration.
