Doesn't care if she's not your cup of tea

On the poetry of dreams, dahl and duende

On the enduring power of Still Life painting and the art of beginning again

Wants to build a hotel out of a Malaysian dessert

Believes you can be a starving artist, but rich in spirit

Knows that information is power and she wants to help you find yours

Loves a nude, but will never undress her vegetables

Believes that every wooden spoon tells a story

Smells like Community Spirit

On the power of passata

From Iran to Kings Cross

“Everyone can be an artist, but not everyone can make a good cup of tea”

Has been cooking & colouring outside the lines for over 40 years

Nature is everything, but so is a quiet kitchen.

Creativity is just problem solving (and Kylie Minogue solves most kitchen problems)

Wants to know if there’s pizza under Tracey Emin’s bed.

When Olivia Cummings offers you cheese on a cracker, it might actually be butter

Believes in food for everyone, and that possums don't belong in the kitchen

Believes a kitchen is an orchestra, with sizzling as percussion

Blue pasta, purple pancakes and the playful art of deep nourishment

Is convinced that art and food are perfect bedfellows

Oscillates between devotion and rebellion
