Whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian my  aim  is to personally prepare tasty and attractive vegetarian  food for  any occasion e.g general daily meals to something a little  more special.

In this page I’d like to tell you a bit about myself, my background  and my reasons for going back into private catering and my desire to offer   quality vegetarian food at affordable prices.

First and foremost, food must be ‘yummy’.  I am passionate about food. I just love everything that encompasses the social aspects of  being with family and friends, formally or informally and seeing  people enjoy good  food (and wine).  I take pride in the overall preparation process and enjoy  experimenting with new ingredients and  the creative latitude cooking allows.   

My Osteopath husband and I relocated to Spain from Scotland in May 2004 to semi-retire with Sophie our 9 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

I am sure you will agree Spanish eating houses tend not to cater for vegetarians  and consider it quite odd  that someone does not eat meat, fish, cheese or even eggs.       

Thus vegetarian choices can be very limited and not particularly interesting -  and if you’re vegan, well I rest my case.

The choice of supermarket chilled and frozen vegetarian foods is also  limited and tends to be expensive.  And whilst  convenient  as stand-byes, I think most of us are aware,  from a nutritional standpoint these products  do not rate as the  ‘healthiest’ options.

Since being in Spain, I have catered many times for our ‘new’  friends and their families.  And whilst all are meat eaters,  they have to ‘humour’ me when coming to dine,  given I don’t do meat!  And yes, there is always the expected apprehension, but as usual (in my experience anyway), the food  has won them over, to the point I found myself  giving out recipes left right and centre to  receiving orders for freezers, dinner parties and weight loss programmes. Plus a few restaurants have  approached me.  So based on interest and apparent  demand, I  decided to  don my apron again and start enjoying myself by getting back in the kitchen offering my catering and nutritional advice services once  more.      
BUEN PROVECHO (enjoy your meal).
