    AND WHO AM I?

    My name is Rachel. I grew up in the UK and have spent the last 13 years living in Dubai, where the sun shines pretty much all year round but for 4 months of the year popping outside is like sticking your head into a roasting oven! There are 5 of us in our family and we’re spread across the globe - #1 and #2 sons are now at college in the US and in Dubai there's me, my fantastic daughter, Hella and finally Rex, the world’s laziest and most neurotic dog.

    I have been squeezing a love of good food and cooking into a jam-packed schedule for the past 20 years which means that I always have ideas, strategies, tips and inspiration for making your food work - without it becoming a chore. And before we moved to Dubai, I ran a catering business in the UK - so food is what I do.

    I know, from experience, that it's possible for the day-in-day-out nature of cooking to be mostly* a pleasure rather than a chore and that's why I'm right here with you, rooting for you every step of the way

    * because we all have our bad days
