‌

Creating this cookbook has been a dream come true and an incredible healing journey. Thank you to my partner Lauren. Your calm strength beside me on this journey has been invaluable. Thank you for reading and re-reading all I’ve had to say and for being the quiet to my storm. Thank you to my beautiful mother Sonja, who has been my biggest cheerleader, never faulting in your support and love. Thank you to my family for your unwavering love, testing recipes and allowing me to be the creative that I am today. Sarah, you were the silent grace that I needed when I realised that doing this single-handedly would be a very big mountain to climb – thank you for choosing to climb it with me. Tyla, thank you for being the ray of sunshine that you are and for working on this manuscript with me as if it was your baby too. Your meticulous proofreading was invaluable to me. Nikita, you are an angel sent to me – thank you for all the late-night conversations and moments of enlightenment, I am forever changed. Rose, with love and laughter you opened the door to a world of cooking that shifted me into the cook I am today, thank you. Last, but not least, thank you to my tribe for every single moment that you have cheered me on, tested recipes and shared your energy. You’ve pulled me out of doubt, showed me I can do it and walked this journey with me every step of the way. I love you all and I am eternally grateful.
