About Me

I’m into food. Cooking, eating, teaching - I like it all. After 15 years in the industry, I’ve gained a really diverse knowledge base. I’m particularly interested in plant based foods, Ayurvedic cuisine and food as medicine.

I recently moved back from 3 years in California, where I was teaching and learning at a plant based culinary school.

I offer a wide range of services, from new product development to recipe ideation, all in the plant based space. I am a highly trained chef, health educator and culinary instructor. I teach private cookery classes as well as at various schools in London.

Recipe Development

I work with brands to develop and expand their offerings within the plant based space. This can include recipe ideation and improvement, innovation workshops or consultancy regarding new products.

I am particularly interested in chocolates, raw foods, plant based alternatives and fermented products.

Workshops

I run plant focused cookery workshops at locations around London. These are ideal for a team building event or special occasion, and can also be held in an office or home. Favourites include home made pasta, chocolate, kombucha and kimchi.

I teach private 1:1’s. These are completely personalized and always 100% plant based.

Private Chef

I work as a personal chef for clients in the London area. This can be anything from fridge fills and prep cooking, to daily meals and dinner parties or events.

I can work around dietary restrictions and allergies. I’d love to share my love for plant based cooking with you, so please get in touch.

Wedding Brownies

Don't want a wedding cake? This is a stunning alternative. Home made brownies displayed with fresh flowers. There are never any left. Brownies can be gluten free or dairy free too.

Get in Touch

Simply put, she's the bees knees. A tremendously capable, organised perfectionist who can be 100% relied upon to create delicious menus and recipes, host an interactive master class that makes you feel like whipping up her delicious plant based recipes are easy as pie and then being great company! We've hired Alice for everything from classes and presentations with our most important clients and even had her run our Christmas party - a plant based cooking class with a sit down dinner and cocktails.
