We’re all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

Spaghetti with chicken, courgette and feta meatballs & tomato sauce has been a crowd pleaser for many dinner guests over the last year so that instantly feels like a no brainer. 

For the veggies, it would have to be my dad’s spanakopita served with an enormous Greek salad and lots of crusty olive oil and oregano grilled bread. 

What’s your greatest achievement?

Developing a skill for acrylic painting over lockdown which unpredictably became a side-hustle. I was most flattered by the requests and fulfilment of commissions. It felt amazing that people liked my style that much to pay a large sum for a custom piece. 

What makes you happy?

Beach holidays, an unnecessarily large handbag collection, pub on a Thursday, old-school mob movies, good quality olive oil, perfume, jewellery, novels, painting, fresh mint tea, a good old gossip with my best friends at our favourite sushi restaurant, Farro pastries, the Off Menu Podcast, matching Juicy Couture sets, anything that’s pink or that sparkles (to name a few things.)

What makes you happy?

A good strong coffee in the morning, getting outside for a walk, talking about anything to do with nutrition and food and enjoy great conversation with family and friends.

What’s your greatest achievement?

It would have to be qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist after studying a 3-year degree alongside my full time job, and during a pandemic. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done, but definitely the most rewarding!

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

It's got to be some kind of pasta dish, but I'm not someone who wants to spend ages in the kitchen, I'd rather be with my guests. So my go-to is a giant pan of Cacio e pepe, but I'm also terrible at sticking to recipes so I'll probably add in a couple of extras to make it even more delicious. Maybe some olives, artichokes, tomatoes & of course, some greenery, a bit of rocket or spinach!

Account Manager

What makes you happy?

Apart from eating really good food, I love a cup of tea, crisp summer mornings, reading, the smell of rain on hot tarmac and spending time with friends who encourage adventure (and yes that adventure can be as simple as driving to the river for a walk!)

What's been your greatest achievement?

I’ve completed Go Ape twice and I’m absolutely terrified of heights.

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

I’d like to say something really fancy with four courses and different wines to compliment each dish but in all honestly, I’d probably go for fajitas. It’s such a great dish to share with friends and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who doesn’t enjoy them!

Founder

What makes you happy?

Harmony. It makes me happy when everyone gets on. Colleagues, clients, family, friends. I’m not into conflict.

Share a life lesson with us. Who did you learn this from?

If you don’t think with your head you’ll have to think with your feet.  I learned this from my Great Aunt Margaret. In other words if you don’t think things through and make a plan, it’s likely that you’ll end up running around having to sort things out.

We're all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking? 

What night is it?  What’s the occasion?  I’ve developed a knack for cook ahead food for a crowd, I don’t want to be standing at the stove frying anything.  So maybe a curry, with rice and sides and flatbreads.  The Dishoom recipe for Chicken Ruby is a winner and Madhur Jaffrey’s Tomato Pullao Rice is a wonderful dish, I’ve made it more times than I can remember but I still have to look it up, I can’t remember quantities.

Account Executive

A big sharing pan of tomato & mascarpone gnocchi with lots of fresh basil and cherry tomatoes! It’s simple, delicious, and really quick so it doesn’t keep you away from your guests for too long!

Share a life lesson with us, who did you learn this from?

The grass is greener where you water it. This little quote has helped me stay grounded at times when it’s been tempting to run away from my problems. Staying focused on the present and having a positive attitude has helped me embrace my inner gratitude and not fear the future too much. I can’t remember who I learned this from, but I remember it feeling like a eureka moment when I first heard it!

What makes you happy?

I’d have to say one of my biggest sources of happiness is music. Finding a new song and keeping it on repeat all day, buying new records, making playlists and dancing with my friends at a good party is unbeatable!

Jenny Bishop

Managing Director

We’re all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

I love having friends over for dinner, but don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen when we have guests, so it’ll probably be a paneer curry that I can cook in advance. I love Indian flavours so I’ll serve it with all the sides, naan breads and rice.

What makes you happy?

Big skies, vast beaches and good friends, preferably all at the same time, with some sunshine and sea swims too!

I also love to dance. In a class, at a festival, and most frequently in the kitchen!

What’s been your greatest achievement?

Studying for my CIM Post-Grad in Marketing whilst working full time is up there; it was hard but SO worth it.

I’ve also done a few 10k runs. I generally HATE running, but I did them to raise money in memory of friends and loved ones. I’m proud of that. I’m not sure I’ll graduate to a half marathon, but maybe I’ll do another 10k one day.

Kate Findlay-Shirras

What makes you happy?

A new creative project, whether cooking, baking or filming! Sharing food with others. Being by the sea and wandering in the big outdoors. Visiting farms and seeing food grow. Painting fish (see below!). A reliable source of snacks. The smell of brownies in the oven. My superb niece and nephew! (In no particular order!) 

What’s your greatest achievement?

Making lots of lovely TV shows that the world continues to enjoy! I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world producing foodie series like “Somebody Feed Phil” (Netflix) and “No Taste Like Home,” (airing Summer 2025 on Disney+!)  

And launching my seafood-educational website, Best Fish Forward. After I completed my degree in Marine Biology, putting Best Fish Forward was a passion project many years in the making! I get such joy out of helping others make more responsible fish choices. Through the project’s evolution, I’ve also painted every fish in Portugal, the UK, and NE USA, and created wallet-sized cards to take out into the world, helping you make good choices wherever you go!  

We’re all coming over for dinner, what are you cooking?

I’d first welcome you to my home with something boozy to whet the palate – maybe a seasonal shrub or spritz. After a few cheeky snacks, we’d gather for the main event: a steaming aubergine parm, served with a sharp, fresh herby salad on the side, and plenty of focaccia to mop up the juices! And at my house, there’s no dinner without dessert. I’d love to fill the final edges of our appetites with a seasonal fruit galette topped with a little homemade fig leaf ice cream... A succulent taste close to paradise!
