Let’s make it personal! 

Q: Favourite sandwich filling?

A: It’s an Indian sandwich filling, spice mashed potatoes with some chutney. It’s so yum.

Q: What is your favourite season?

A: I love spring or early summer. It’s just when the mood starts to lift all around.

Q: One food forever – what is it and why?

A: Perfectionist, supportive, occasionally sarcastic.

Q: One ‘bad’ fashion choice you stand by?

A: Velcro sandals with socks. I know it’s so weird, but very comfortable and practical.
