Welcome to My ‘Kitchen’

Feb 21, 2025

 

Have you ever found yourself staring into the fridge at 5:00 PM, wondering what to cook for dinner? Or heard the familiar groan of “Not pasta again!” – or another repeated household dish – from your family? Well, you’re not alone – and that’s one of the reasons why I’ve created this space.

I’ve been a Thermomix advisor for five years and during this time it’s highlighted to me some of the frustrations that exist in the ‘average’ UK kitchen. I’ve seen that cooking can be stressful, can undermine someone’s confidence and is often a chore rather than a pleasure! I guess I’d like for everyone to know that cooking doesn’t have to be like this and that there are ways to find (lots of) joy in the process.

Whether you’re a busy parent, a food enthusiast, or someone just trying to get dinner on the table, this ‘space’ is here to support you in making mealtimes a little less stressful and a whole lot more enjoyable.

Why I’m Here!

Let’s face it – the kitchen can feel overwhelming and can create feelings of guilt and angst for those of us responsible for putting food on the table.

Maybe you’re tired of the same recipes, struggling with dietary restrictions or just can’t find enough time to cook in a way you want to cook. Trust me, I’ve been there but I’ve found ways to flip it, and I’ve created this space to help:

  • Find confidence in the kitchen (even if you think you can’t cook).
  • Simplify mealtimes with realistic ideas.
  • Add variety to your meals without spending hours in the kitchen.
  • Make the most of what you have, reducing waste and saving money.

What You’ll Get From Me

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve got quite a few things going on, all of which come from a desire to share that life in the kitchen doesn’t need to be a drag – far from it!

  • Thermomix Solutions: As a Thermomix advisor, I’ll show you how this incredible tool can transform your kitchen, from quick weeknight dinners to effortless entertaining, batch cooking, and everything in between.
  • Recipes and Ideas: Simple, flexible recipes designed to fit into your busy life, and they won’t all be Thermomix based
