Hello, I’m Kristina

A curious soul.
A very full table.

France. I fell head over heels for this country like a giddy young girl. Newly married to an MBA student at the INSEAD business school, brimming with colourful expectations, I eagerly embraced the beauty, flavours and aromas with wide-eyed wonder and a heart full of joy.

Whenever we could break free from the chaos of life, we found ourselves back in France — first just the two of us, then with our daughter, and later with our son.

Then the pandemic struck and, before we knew it, we were on the last flight to London just before air travel ground to a halt. England was a place I had never quite pictured myself in. But I soon discovered its unique delights.

I have a passion for cooking and have gathered a treasure trove of gastronomic experiences from both countries. My first book shares the best of both. My second looks at life beside a very busy partner — through food, tenderness and a little necessary escapism.
