“I always wanted to be a chef as a child. I was always interested in restaurants and food and found them very exciting. My mum has always been such a fantastic cook and caterer. I just remember being in the kitchen on the days when she had events or family over, and just picking at all the food and admiring her talent. She will always be my biggest inspiration.”
