About

I’ve spent years perfecting a comforting, filling, plant-based carbonara, and this one’s been tried and tested by not only my mum, but a hundred other people who ate it at a pop-up event I hosted in Borough Market in the summer of 2021. I say this like I’m reflecting on past memories, but my goodness it was a great one.
