Food isn’t just food to me, it’s an art, a way of expressing love and a source of unending joy.
I am a food enthusiast through and through. The moment I baked my first Women’s Weekly Chocolate Flake Cake at the age of 10, I have been drawn to all things culinary. Food isn’t just food to me, it’s an art, a way of expressing love and a source of unending joy.
Growing up in a food-lovers household, I was exposed to a diverse range of flavours both at home and while traveling. My family’s fridge was never without delicacies like olives, pate, cheese (lots of cheese) salted goodies in every form – and thanks to my Dutch grandmother, dutch liquorice and salty plums.
Living in Darwin until the age of 9, Friday nights were spent at the Mindal Markets, where I was introduced to a plethora of Asian cuisines and tropical produce which quickly became a staple in my mother’s cooking and a favourite of mine to cook and eat to this day.
Watching cooking shows, reading cookbooks, cooking and dining out with friends have always been passions of mine. Now, a wife and mother of two beautiful children, my love for food might not see me out and about as much as I would like, but I still relish every opportunity to cook for my loved ones and share meals together. 
Join me, Miss Foodie, on my never-ending culinary journey, where each bite is a celebration of life’s simple pleasures.
