About me


Hi, I’m Deni!

Beckenham

I love cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients. I taught all three of my children how to cook healthy and nutritious meals - especially my sons. I like experimenting and devising new recipes as well as adapting old ones. I have lived and worked all over the world and this is reflected in my cooking. I believe creating and sharing food is both satisfying and rewarding and look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience.
