"Though I have French and Chinese roots, both known for their rich culinary heritage, I was never interested in food as a kid. Then came my teenage years when mum cancelled my favourite channels, so I turned to cooking programmes instead! These shows became a huge influence in fueling my passion for food, and taught me basic skills in the kitchen. In my role as a nutritionist today, my mission is to get people back into the kitchen and be interested in the food they eat. I believe that we eat to feed our tummies; but more importantly, we eat to feed our soul, so there is absolutely room for happy treats in our diet! Join me on AFN –watch my videos, save my recipes –as I share tips and easy-to-make recipes to eat well and maintain a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. PS, my happy food: Sara Lee pound cake! What’s yours?"
