A message from our Chef Celia:
“Hello, my name is Celia and I am from Hong Kong. In a previous life I worked in a stressful corporate career, but I always longed to live my passion: cooking. So, I finally found the courage to quit and now I have been teaching cookery classes for over seven years. I’m still motivated to explore and push my boundaries in the kitchen.
I would say my style is East meets West. I enjoy mixing and matching ingredients to create more complex and unique flavours. I try to use local, seasonal ingredients so that my cooking is fresh and economical and people learn what their local ingredients are.
I am also a food stylist: I want my food to not only taste good but look beautiful too.
I love the common language of food: how it brings people and cultures together, and how we can share recipes and learn new tastes and skills. But most of all, I love how eating together makes us happy.
I look forward to cooking and eating with you!”
