Meet Pauline…
“Hello there, I’m Pauline
. I love all things food, especially cooking for & feeding others! Nothing beats seeing someone’s eyes light up as their tastebuds tingle or their wee excited ‘YUMMY’ dance in their seat… Food brings people together but more importantly, brings so much happiness and I’m all here for it!
I’ve spent the past year building my wee business through meal prep, social events, dinner parties & retreats (which I particularly enjoy)! I’m not going to lie, taking the plunge to leave my 9-5 job in the legal sector to pursue my passion was hugely scary. A year in, I can safely say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Hospitality is an industry that I have so much love for (even when I’ve worked around the clock & had very little sleep). I get so much joy from learning about nutrition & produce then cooking tasty meals and creating vibrant & aesthetically pleasing plates for people to dig into! I’m hoping I can continue to make lots of bellies satisfied with my meals.”
“For me, food is life and I survive to eat! I'm at my happiest when doing one of two things - either surrounding myself with good food & company or exploring the outdoors losing myself in nature. If I've learned anything throughout my 30+ years, it's to love yourself from the inside out, fuelling your body with all the good stuff and take nothing for granted. It makes me sad to see people having unhealthy relationships with food so I hope I can share my experience and some tips together with my meals to help people learn to love food as much as I do!
I’ve always been a fan of meal prep, especially when I was working in an office. People would always compliment me about how delicious my lunch looked & smelled which got me thinking (especially seeing so many people nipping out at lunch returning with a depressing looking ‘Meal Deal’) - I could cook lunch for my colleagues. That’s where it all started…”

I’m a firm believer in a varied diet and keeping things interesting. I look forward to every meal I eat and by offering meal prep, I am able to share this with others.
I know not everyone loves cooking but a majority of people love eating tasty food, especially knowing it’s home cooked. I believe food to be one of the core aspects of any event; a talking point, a connecting point, time to wind down and refuel. I embrace family style dining for everyone to gather and share a hearty, vibrant & nutritiously tasty meal. That being said, I’ve been working on expanding my offering to private catering. This year I’ve catered retreats, birthday celebrations, lunch/dinner parties and made special occasion cakes. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported my new venture and given me the opportunity to do something I love while making the busy lives of others that little bit easier and more importantly, satisfying!
Lots of love
