Since I began working as a creative foodie and entrepreneur, life has become busier than ever. With over five cookbooks, various television programmes, consulting and an online magazine behind my name, you can imagine how busy my daily schedule is, especially when I include important quality time with my family and all the travel I get up to.

A few years back, I dreamed of starting a creative platform where bloggers, artists, foodies and friends could come to together and share their ideas and support with one another. I wanted to create a platform for a community of people who believed in the power of inspiration and creativity, this is how Khoollect began.

Now that I’m spending more time in Sweden, I feel more inspired by my surroundings than ever before. The Swedes have a unique, minimalist and delicious approach to all things fashion, design and, of course, fika.

There’s nothing quite like the thought of a tasty homecooked meal to end off a busy day at work. I like to be as productive as possible during the work day, and running an online magazine means constantly searching for inspiration, new trends and creating connections with other like-minded small businesses. Although my schedule is non-stop and I’ve been travelling a lot lately, I make an effort to prioritise my time off each evening when I can. It’s important for me to step away from my laptop and make a delicious meal to enjoy with my family.

If you’re up to date with my online lifestyle magazine Khoollect, you would have discovered my team’s fascination with all things gardening, outdoors and warm weather. As spring arrives in London we can’t help but be inspired by the blossoming-tree-lined streets, the bright yellow daffodils, and, of course, the delicious produce the season has to offer. I believe that a new season has the ability to inspire a new beginning.

Over the last few weeks the #littlepariskitchen has been repeated on BBC Two, and I can’t help but daydream of proper Paris butter, crusty bread from my local boulangerie and delicious pastries still warm from the oven. Although Paris offers decadent desserts on every [...]

The #littlepariskitchen is being repeated on BBC Two, and with it comes a whole host of happy memories. Most of them involving food, cooking delicious recipes, sharing picnics with friends along the Seine and painting with my set of watercolours. Those watercolours, along with my trusty Moleskine notebook, went everywhere with me.

For as long as I can remember I’ve always been on the move. I have a sense of adventure that’s never quite satisfied, and I can’t help but daydream of discovering delicious food in new places that I’ve never been to before. There’s nothing quite [...]

Paris will always be a special city for me. There’s nothing quite like the inspiration that comes from visiting France, it has a certain je ne sais quoi that is unique to this country. I can’t resist the buttery croissants, an evening aperitif with friends or a [...]

I almost always wake up to a new day tempted by the idea of scrambled eggs on a piece of buttered sourdough. Better yet, a big bowl of Greek yoghurt and homemade muesli with a drizzle of honey. Although, nothing quite beats homemade pancakes as a weekend treat. The Khoollect [...]
