Thanks so much to Andrzej, Davi, Erika and all the crew in for having me as part of Open Kitchen Program 🙌🏻❤️👩🏼‍🍳

Davi and all the kitchen crew were so nice and answered all of my (many🫢) queries and offered loads of great advice, tips and recipes! ❤️
It was a brilliant experience helping out in such a well run kitchen and definitely taking lots of inspiration for our little cafe 😊🤓🙌🏻
