Her first non-food book, called SOLO: How to Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind), was published in 2020. She lives in London with her husband and two small daughters. Chantal's passion for cooking was ignited when, as a teenager, she was diagnosed as allergic to dairy, eggs and wheat. She believes everyone should take joy and satisfaction from food and so she specializes in free-from cooking. Chantal has worked as a personal chef, caterer, restaurateur and in food product development. She was the development chef at LEON for two years, creating their bestselling rice box. She is co-author, with Rebecca Seal and John Vincent, of LEON Fast Vegan. |
