About Me

Having spent over 20 years in IT with a major UK bank, I decided it was time for a change, and so in January 2009 I started the 6 month Diploma course at the Edinburgh School of Food and Wine, graduating, with Merit, in June 2009.

I wanted to do something meaningful, work with people, and combine my passions for cookery and coaching, and so I have established Wild In The Pantry, with the aim of fulfilling a need for people who want to be able to cook for themselves, but are not sure where to start, don't have the background, or lack the confidence to get going or progress further.

I'm involved with a number of joint ventures as well, with Riverford Organics and New Life Nutrition in Sheffield, Brosterfield Farm out in the beautiful Peak District, Cadair View Lodge in Snowdonia, and others, which has widened my horizons and enabled me to meet even more interesting and passionate people!

I am in the process of relocating to St Ives, Cambridgeshire, where I am open for business from 14th November 2011. I will continue to be available for functions in and around Sheffield, South Yorkshire for my existing customers.
