I was a chef and cook in a life before my children and I have always enjoyed cooking and exploring different cuisines. I started making sausage rolls with meals as fillings to get my children to enjoy food as much as I do, and they were a hit with school lunches too. I later found out that they were valuable school currency and one sausage roll would get them three pieces of cake. Ultimately they became such a hit that I started to get requests for parties, school events, and other children's lunch boxes. I love the research and refinement that goes into creating recipes from scratch. I constantly strive to get my flavours perfect using techniques I learned as a chef, on my travels, and in the many cookbooks I collect.

• Dessert that sparks conversation (and second servings)
• Afternoon tea or coffee breaks
• Gifting something a little different
