I live in Somerset - home of cider and folklore…

I’m Kate, a mainly self-taught, plant-loving, waste-avoiding, beauty-seeking intuitive chef (and mum to two amazing humans and a whippet).

When I say ‘intuitive chef’, I mean that I understand the power of food to affect the mood and shape the vibe of a gathering. It’s my mission to create thoughtful food that’s delicious and perfect for the occasion - whatever it may be, whoever may be eating it.

I cook with the seasons and usually without recipes (unless it’s super-technical!).

I try where possible to source seasonal, local produce where the quality shines through. Suppliers include the excellent Penleigh Farm Butchers.

I’m inspired by places, traditions, colours, textures, ideas and more… what can I cook for you?
