Describe your culinary style.
My culinary style would have to be fresh and modern, full of colour, textures and flavours. I love seasonal produce and the nostalgia that life brings, especially to food. My cooking is also about food that brings memories and tastes of my childhood. I want to show that making desserts or cooking is not always complicated and well…scary.

For someone new to your blog, which recipe do you recommend they try first?
I would definately reccomend my Pistachio Tiramisu. It gives a fresh, modern and simple twist that I just adore and of course a depth of flavour. My mum would make this whenever she had friends and family over and that would devour it in minutes. Give this Flourless Chocolate Chai Cake a try as well!

What is the main source of inspiration for your recipes?
I get inspiration from all over the place! Wheather through a cookbook, food blogs, magazine or just everyday life. I may sometimes sit down with with a pile of cookbooks and magazine surrounding me and flip through them for hours on end, sometimes it might me a food prop that brings me inspiration or even a colour scheme!

If you could have one food while stranded on a desert island, what would it be? 
That would have to be (hands down) cake! I love cake all it’s different flavours and textures, I couldn’t live without it.

What is your ultimate guilty food pleasure? 
Ice cream. I love ice cream and I have to have it in the house in case of an emergency, I start with a scoop and for all I know, I’ve finished half the tub!

Define Yummly.
The meaning of Yummly for me is food that makes you smile and of course an empty plate. Nothing makes me happier!
