Lovely Christmas lunch today with some of the fabulous faces behind the Kitchen Garden Somerset. Miranda, Carol, Louise and Tracy. I would not be where I was today without Carol. Best business partner ever. And we would not be a professional and personal service without these women being part of our vision. Ladies who are at the top of their game. Highly skilled and professional chefs, who run their own households as well as cooking for hundreds of wonderful friends and families, hen parties, corporate clients and more… Louise our fabulously glamorous PA who runs her own business Elegant Efficiencies. Louise miraculously steers the ship remotely. Strangely, This is the first time Louise has met us in person. She has been a rock behind the scenes while trying to grow this business. Her help has enabled us to keep our clients and our own families happy while helping us to maintain a healthy work life balance. Tracy has stepped in and cooked with Carol on numerous occasions allowing us to have a little flexibility and freedom to make family commitments. Without all the precious cogs in the wheel it would not turn. Thank you ladies. Here is to a successful 2025. WATCH THIS SPACE: We are aiming to host a fabulous Business and Bootcamp Retreat for women in business. DM us if you are interested.

This Christmas Lunch was completely locally sourced and homemade. The Christmas Pudding and mince pies, brandy butter, cranberry sauce - all homemade. And easy. Not hard. The turkey 🦃 was from and reared in Bridgwater. The Vegetables were from . You don’t need to go to a supermarket for anything for a Christmas Dinner. You don’t need to buy anything pre-made. Just spread out the prep over three days and then all you need to do is put a bird in the oven and a few pigs in blankets. We even homemade the vegetarian wellington with a mushroom veloute. It’s not rocket 🚀 science ! And it tastes fresh, clean and not out of a plastic package!
Happy Christmas 🎄

I thought I would share a little bit of my class chat today. It might be quite daunting if you don’t bake, to offer to make 30 homemade cupcakes for a school Christmas party, but really it’s a fun thing to do with your kids and however they turn out they will love the task and spending time with you doing it. I am sharing this not to shame but to show how normal it has become to simply fall back and rely on buying crap. I am also sharing this to share how awkward I feel about how disgusting the list of party food is. (yes I get it’s party food and it’s not every day the kids might eat this). I am totally against junk food but could never make a joke in the chat about how poles apart I am from this buy a cupcake a week in advance mind set. I am not adverse to the odd treat and I get it’s a party, but I still believe our children deserve to eat healthy food from birth upwards. With proper ingredients. Butter, organic flour, unrefined sugar. Why not make healthy blueberry muffins? Children actually like things like this more. The number of kids at parties who eat the healthy version I put out versus the icing clad crap. Even more noticeable is purchasing a cupcake this week for next - a supermarket cupcake will last this long because it’s full of absolutely nothing good. Crap one might say. And if they last that long how is it going to be any good for a 6 year olds stomach? Ultra processed foods our ruining our gut biome. Making children obese and so unhealthy and lacking in any health benefits yet…. Ultra processed foods have sky rocketed to becoming the norm. How do we make it not ok to buy crap from the supermarket? How do we teach parents to educate their children on healthy eating?
