Having always had a interest in eating (!) and cooking, Alexis also developed an interest in the bioscience behind food and health when came to feeding her young family.  It came as no surprise that, as a late career change, she embarked on a degree in Functional Nutrition.

Alexis was strongly drawn to the Slow Food philosophy and way of life as she believes reconnecting people with good quality, local and organic produce will also help steer them away from fast food and back to their kitchens where they will rediscover the pure pleasure of tasty and healthy meals.

Alexis feels that educating community on the link between food and farming is essential to our and our planets wellbeing and vitality.
