Ohh! Very excited to have my 8th cookbook – ‘Theo’s Family Kitchen’ just released (Oct 2023)! This is a book I’ve wanted to write for a long time; a truly family focussed cookbook. This is the book that I want to hand to my kids when they leave home knowing they’ll have all the basics to look after themselves in the kitchen (and be able to impress if they need to!).
