I am from Well End, a small village 25 miles west of London. I am in Marketing and I think Gordon Ramsey is fantastic.
Like my good friend Wendy Bob, I also went to catering college and learnt to cook wonderful recipes - I have the scars to prove it! Recently started to grow fruit and veg in my garden, my family have been into organic food for years, just looking for new recipes to try out at home, which are quick to make as I am always home late!
