Since then she has gone on to grace our screens on Steph’s packed lunch, This Morning, been featured in the Stylist and Sheerluxe magazine, and most recently was nominated for the prestigious Fortnum and Mason food content creator of the year 2024 award.

Late Diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder, she is leading the way for the much needed change and awareness of neurodiversity in the food industry.
