Hi I'm Lisa!
I've met so many lovely people who tell me they haven't had a Chinese meal in over 8 years or more and they miss eating Chinese food so much. Well after cooking for thousands of customers in our award winning restaurant Sweet Mandarin in the Northern Quarter and Mabel's Chippy I know how frustrating, lonely and anxious it is when trying to eat out.
Customers that have moved away from the area haven't managed to find a safe option to eat out at often just end up missing out on meals out and resorting to cooking the same old same old dishes at home.
Cooking for customers for over 20 years and also running a cookery school for 8 years I've learned to help people just like you to cook Chinese favourites made gluten free at home. I'll show you how to incorporate Chinese flavours, sauces, flour blends and cooking processes so that you can gain confidence cooking chinese food at home.
Here's a snapshot of my culinary journey as restauranteur, creating a gluten free sauce brand, writing 3 best-selling cookbooks and cooking for many VIPs.
Can't wait to teach you.
Love
