Hi there,

Welcome to The Life Larder! This weekly newsletter serves up a bite-sized menu of stories and ideas about making food that’s not only delicious but also healthy and sustainable.

Each issue is packed with inspiring articles, flavourful ideas, and voices from across the vibrant food world. Think of me as your friendly guide, helping you create meals that nourish your body, delight your taste buds, and care for our planet. Treat this newsletter like a personal larder—always stocked with something you’ll love.

Hello again - I’m excited that this week’s ‘article’ is actually a podcast. I take so many people with me in podcast format on my daily dog-walks and I think, when you have someone’s voice in your ears for an extended amount of time it’s perhaps one of the best ways to connect to their thoughts and ideas. That’s why all the links this week are audio too - I hope you’ll take some of them with you in your headphones over the weekend.

Before I go - if you’re enjoying the newsletter, I’d love you to share it with a friend - the more you share the more I can create here, so I appreciate it!

Before you tuck in…

Here’s some ways you can work with me 👇

🔪 Private Cheffing & Retreats – Bespoke menus that nourish, fuel, and taste incredible. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a wellness retreat, or high-performance nutrition, I bring the flavour and the science.

📢 Speaking & Workshops – From corporate wellness to food sustainability, I deliver engaging, no-fluff talks that connect the dots between soil health, nutrition, and better living.

📦 Brand Consulting – Helping food brands create products that are as good for people as they are for the planet. Strategy, product development, and nutrition-led storytelling.
