I remember testing a recipe very late at night. I had this idea of combining chocolate, coffee and hazelnuts with bread, and eventually decided to turn this into Monkey Bread. It must have been almost midnight when this creation came out of the oven and the whole kitchen smelled absolutely incredible. My mum was in the kitchen at the time, and when I took this Monkey Bread out of the bundt tin, she actually gasped in awe – we finished about half of the entire loaf! So that was a good enough sign that it needed to go in the book! Tracy, our incredibly talented Owner & Head Chef, knew for a while that there was something missing; high quality, affordable and delicious Kosher Asian Fusion food that is readily available to not just a small section of NW London, but to the majority of it. A passion for making people happy, the desire to produce some of the tastiest food, and perfect timing meant that this was an opportunity not to be missed.

I still cook in the same kitchen in my family home, and my recipes are very much still the same as they were before my cookbook. I have always been fascinated by interesting flavours from around the world, but now I just have a much larger audience to share that fascination with! Taste Kitchen Co. are a family-run business that have been in the Catering industry for 10+ years and proudly have a 5* hygiene rating. We produce some of the tastiest food all of which is cooked from the heart of our home kitchen, catering to the North London & Hertfordshire areas. We only use Kosher meat, unsupervised .

The Flavour Kitchen just loves putting on a fabulous spread and our buffet, feasts and BBQs menus are all about serving up gorgeous food to be shared amongst friends and loved ones. Feasts

Feasts are perfect for celebrations with friends and family. Our Feast dishes are intended to be served on large platters and carving boards at the table for guests to share amongst themselves. Feasts work particularly well for large gatherings such as weddings where you would like a sit down meal but with a relaxed style. We can also adapt the menus for smaller gatherings and many of the dishes can also be delivered via a drop off service – ready for reheating and plating at home. Serious parties require serious food and sometimes you need a little bit more than a few bites. Our manapes and bowl food is served like canapés but is a little bit more substantial – perfect for parties that will be in full swing for a while. When the pandemic hit in 2020, it unfortunately restricted us all from enjoying social gatherings and celebrations. With this, we took action. We adapted and made the best of a bad situation by continuing to service our clients through a unique and different home delivery service.My love of food started from a very young age – food is very much at the centre of my culture, and I’ve been surrounded by food my whole life. At family gatherings, there would never be just one curry and rice. There would be five different types of curries, and five different types of rice. And I’ve loved it. I also used to watch my mum in the kitchen cooking (while she would feed me extra food on the side), which is where I learnt the basics of cooking. She’s an incredible cook and actually taught me the foundations of flavour – she assigned me as the ‘chief taste tester’ and would get me to taste her food, asking me if it needed more salt, sugar, lemon juice, which is how I developed my palate at such a young age. As time went on, I realised that I was able to cook so many of her quintessentially Goan dishes without any recipe, because I had learnt how to do so just by watching her cook, and tasting her food. As I then began to travel around the world, or even eat out more at different restaurants, I started trying new flavours – like miso, za’atar, gochujang – and began incorporating those flavours and cuisines into my cooking and baking at home.

We can also arrange all the staffing required to make your event a success. Our Front of House team work directly for us, many of whom have butler training so know exactly what is required to look after you and your guests. Our drop off canapé service is where the canapés are made at our kitchen and delivered to you ready to serve on your own platters (or we can provide smart disposable platters for a small charge). We have also included some reheatable canapes choices – which can be easily warmed up by you to provide hot canapes for your guests. Life has changed considerably, in the best way possible. I no longer work in finance, and now work as a full time cook which is incredibly fun! I’ve also done really crazy things that I would have never imagined – like walking on a catwalk to open the Bridgerton premiere and meeting King Charles! I’ve cooked on TV both in the UK and America, and I think the most surreal part is getting recognised – sometimes in the most obscure places, like during a spin class or at the salon!Filming the show was one of the best experiences of my life. It was just so incredibly surreal, because it was a show that I had watched for years, and suddenly I was there, filming it. The whole production company that looked after us made me feel so comfortable – and made my first experience on TV such a breeze! I do like to call our experience ‘part intensive baking camp, part holiday’, because there was a lot of hardcore baking which was fun but also stressful, but then in the evenings after filming, we would all eat together and often do some fun activities like pizza parties or movie nights! Our readers might recognise you from The Great British Bake Off – how has life changed since entering the competition? Flavour Kitchen is “bursting with inventive recipes” and “creative” flavour combinations. Divided into two halves – savoury and sweet – readers can expect both cooking and baking recipes, from “zingy” curries to “tangy” cheesecakes and “indulgent brownies”. The book also includes Pereira’s guide to her hero ingredients and favourite flavours to give readers more confidence when “boosting their flavours”. I’ve always loved watching Nigella cook – her no-fuss approach to cooking, and her love and passion for food is something I really resonate with. Yotam Ottolenghi is another huge inspiration – as someone who loves flavours, Ottolenghi’s creativity and originality with flavour combinations in his recipes is truly inspiring. Finally, Dominique Ansel is a pastry chef who is extremely inspiring because of the way he innovates. Innovation in food is something that is so important to me, and as the creator of the infamous cronut (in addition to some mind blowing pastries and other creations), I think Ansel’s creativity really spearheaded a change in the world of patisserie, veering away from the traditional, which I love!
