“I asked Jacqueline, ‘Is it really possible to find enlightenment here in the kitchen?’ To which she replied with a gentle nod and a knowing smile.”

I grew up on 170 acres of rolling rural land in Lochinvar, New South Wales, Australia, with my mum, dad, and four siblings. We farmed our own cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks and raised a myriad of animals, including rabbits, kangaroos, ferrets, birds, cats, and dogs. Ever since I can remember, I’ve felt a strong connection with animals, the earth, and all living things.
