Behind every plate of food is an exciting culinary wonderland, filled with amazing of people, growers, artisan producers, restaurateurs and chefs all working together to bring something special on a plate. This world is filled with inspirations cultivated from memories, culture and traditions. Food that draws from these inspirations just tastes better, in my opinion. I have made it my life's passion to exploring the world behind the plate. Visual storytelling through my lens, my cooking and my travel explorations.

Thank you to everybody who had attended and generously donated at ‘Be the light’ @becentrefoundation gala fundraiser ball. Congratulations to the entire team for putting together this elegant evening, it was such an enjoyable night, hosted by the delightful @gemmaactontv

I feel so privileged to be involved as one of the ambassadors for Be Centre. Helping children who have been through trauma through one-on-one play therapy. Every child deserves a chance to express themselves and to heal to start living a full life. I have seen the good work that this incredible team do for not only the child,but the entire family. This is why raising funds is so important, to continue this transformational work to more children that need it most . 🙏🏻

So grateful Di @socially_litau for your company this evening, you look absolutely amazing! ❤️
