Ela
The base of my cooking comes from my mother, which was traditional Polish, and my training as a macrobiotic cook in London East West Centre, which was influenced by Japanese tradition.
My cooking now is a mixture of North African, Caribbean and Mediterranean served with an Eastern European Cieciorki touch. The food is simple: I like to use good, seasonal ingredients - love scotch bonnet and thyme, and prefer to use organic when I can. Thyme is the secret.
Happy to cater for special dietary requirements and occasions.
