Olivia has always had a passion for cooking.  From 14, she would help out in any and every kitchen, and began to work for catering companies. She was eventually selected for an exciting job opportunity with The Vineyard - a 5* hotel in Newbury, where she learnt a great deal. While there, Olivia was awarded apprentice of the year for Thames Valley and runner up for the MSK ingredients challenge, creating a venison rhubarb tartare.

Olivia has now moved her career in a different direction but continues her journey in food by hosting private dinner parties and passing on skills to others.
