Well 2021 has arrived and I was hoping I would come back refreshed and reinvigorated from a relaxing Christmas but felt a little wiped out and dejected by constant negative news. Then I remembered what I had learnt from 2020…and, after a big deep breath, realised that I could use the positives to spur me back into action.
Cancelled Farmer’s Markets became Weekly Deliveries
Shortage in stock became a chance to test new recipes with new ingredients
Fear of talking over videos became the new Zoom norm
Cancelled events created adaptability
Last minute changes to restrictions created a greater flexibility
Creating new work opportunities
Creating collaborative opportunities
Said yes before I could think or talk myself out of it.
So 2020 a braver me, became a more resourceful person who has more time for and a deeper pleasure in the small things. I love food, cooking and what I do but I love to be able to help people to understand that allergies do not have to take the fun out of food.
Food is so important for your physical & mental well being, it is a way to connect whether making, nourishing or spending time to savour and enjoy the conversation.
"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." -Virginia Woolf
It is simpler than you think to dine well...see events below.
See you at the table.
