female Women-owned

I'm a chef, nutrition consultant and the founder of ״Know Eat״, a London-based food experience bringing people together through good food, curiosity and nutritional tips and tricks.
My journey into food started with a simple belief: understanding what we eat shouldn't mean compromising on flavour, pleasure or a nice amount of butter and sweets.
After years of working in professional kitchens and private dining, I went on to study Gastronomy and Nutrition at Le Cordon Bleu London and at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, NY, combining my love of cooking with a deeper understanding of how food works in our bodies.
Today, through Know Eat, I host supper clubs, hands-on workshops and food experiences for private groups and corporate teams. From fermentation to the science behind everyday ingredients, my aim is to make food knowledge accessible, practical and genuinely enjoyable.
I believe the best learning happens when people are relaxed, curious and sharing something delicious around a table.
Come curious, leave full with food and knowledge.
