Who am I ?

RECIPE DEVELOPER
I have always had a passion for cooking and prehistory. It started as a child when I understood that food gathered in the wild held a truth that our distant ancestors would have known. Gathering and consuming today plants and berries that grew thousands of years ago bridges the gap between the past and present. What started as a game has become a passion enhanced with my theory that if our ancestors were able to create the cave paintings seen at the sites of Lascaux, Chauvet… with pigment, they were surely able to create a fine feast with “piment” (herbs) and other ingredients?

SCIENCE ART COLLABORATOR
Where my eyes or knowledge is limited, working with scientists allows me to understand and interpret the Natural World beyond the visible. I am currently working on a number of diverse projects exploring viruses, bacteria, sempervivum and nanostructures found in flower petals.
