My Relationship with Food

Lisa Roukin, a Le Cordon Bleu chef, and known also through `Cook with Lisa’, has been demonstrating healthy, contemporary cooking to London’s young professionals, families and children since 2008. That same year she was a finalist on “The F Word” leading her to realise that she wanted to be her own boss in the kitchen! Her career in the catering trade has included: Mirabelle, L’Escargot, Quo Vadis, e Ivy and Le Caprice. She currently provides the world’s largest online supermarket, Ocado, with gluten free recipes. Going forward, Lisa aims to continue on the healthy path she has found. Her emphasis also continues to be on creating nourishing recipes that encourage people of all ages and skill levels to cook together. Through her own challenging journey, she has developed a wealth of knowledge and experience that has led her to become a gluten-free expert, and industry leader in healthy eating. Lisa has now devoted her life to sharing her passion and encouraging, supporting and inspiring people to change their dietary habits for the better. She spends much of her time teaching, which begins with educating children to understand the importance of good nutrition, instilling good habits from an early age. Lisa also teaches cooking to private clients in their homes, and regularly visits employees of leading blue chip companies, including Google and Facebook, running interactive cookery workshops, and advising on the benefits of mindful eating. A partnership with an established contract caterer, involves offering healthy options to a number of city banks, encouraging nutritional eating in the workplace. Lisa firmly believes that everyone has their own relationship with food, from allergies or intolerances, dieting and being faced with an eating issue, to simply having a love of all things edible. Through many ups and downs, Lisa eventually turned her own relationship with food around. She adopted a gluten-free diet, limiting dairy products and refined sugars. She sees food as a ritual and relishes the entire process, from the exhilaration of creating new wholesome recipes, to the joy in sharing them through her work, and with her family and friends. Lisa is now in her element, fulfilling a lifelong ambition; inspiring people to see food as a friend, not as an enemy.
