We sat down to have a chat with her about her fave meals, post-tattoo treats and the therapeutic buzz of the tattoo needle….
It provides us with such gorgeous food inspo… What made you fall in love with food and decide to follow it as a career? Food has always been a lifelong passion of mine since I was little. Luckily, I stumbled across hosting retreats and found a way to make my dream of cooking as a career a reality. Everything kinda fell into place and the rest is history. I am very lucky that my passion is my actual job! We love the little peeks of tattoos in your photos, can you tell us about the designs you have on your body?
I have a big arm tattoo by an amazing Icelandic artist based in Barcelona called Jonpall, and my latest big piece of the Goddess Kali on my left hand-side shoulder is by a Balinese artist! I also have some more smaller hidden ones….
Are there any that have special significance? Any food related? All of them have significance and were done during transitional periods of my life. Rather than food related, I would say that they are life related. How do you find the tattoo process? I find it therapeutic and almost like going into a zone. I think anyone who gets them can relate. Some of my tattoos took me years to decide and design, and you get into a special head zone, when it comes to having them finally done.
The design process, finding the artist, connecting with your piece and then the execution or the creation process is magical. Once the piece is done I go through a bit of honeymoon period with my piece until it becomes part of you and your journey.
