Her first cookery book has just been published and not surprisingly it’s called ‘Drizzle and Dip’, after her blog.
I love it. It’s divided into three sections : Morning, Noon and Night.
That makes sense to me, as these are the times we are meant to [...]

It is not only about her own skill but developing others to reach greatness one day.
What makes her great is the ability to be critical of her own work……
If she had one regret that would [...]
