The Kitchen Collection began in my kitchen, inspired by a lifelong love of cooking, baking and the South African traditions I grew up with, where food, fires and gathering around a braai were part of everyday life. Those moments were about connection, conversation and taking time to slow down. That influence now shapes everything I create — from South African–inspired recipe books adapted for UK kitchens to Fire Eggs, a thoughtful alternative to traditional firelighters, designed to be practical, easy to use and a little fun.
