If you haven’t had that it is so, so good! It doesn’t even taste like cauliflower, you food process the cauliflower, then you cook it in water, ring it out, mold it to a pizza base, bake it, and put your toppings on. You can put anything it the crust as well, whether you want garlic, or parmesan, or maybe a little bit of other cheese. I’ve also made shepherds pie with cauliflower as the potato substitute, that went over really well with people.
Casa London: Would you say you have a style with your food? How would you define or describe your own cooking?
Stefanie: I would say it’s more like home cooked meals, I like doing comfort food more than salad and chicken. I work alongside Michelle (Editor’s note - Michelle is Michelle Goldrick, the inspirational personal trainer that we interviewed for our last issue. You can read the interview here in our previous issue, if you haven’t already!) too because she has a lot of customers that she will do menu plans for, so I gear my recipes to her menu plan. It works out really well, for example if she has suggested sweet potato and chicken, I can take the vegetables and the sweet potato and turn it into shepherd’s pie! My motto is “eat healthy, don’t eat less”, I want people to be satisfied without feeling bloated and guilty.
Casa London: How did you get involved with Michelle?
Stefanie: Michelle trained me a few years ago before I had my daughter. Then when I decided to do this myself I just approached her, asked her if she wanted to collaborate, and she was on board! I want to inspire people like she inspires people.
Casa London: Do all your clients come through Michelle then?
Stefanie: I do my own clients as well, through my website and through word of mouth. I have recently introduced the vegan menu – so I do a regular and vegan menu. I’ll go through vegan groups on Facebook and try get some opinions on recipes and meals. It’s gone over really well, it’s only been two weeks and we have already got quite a bit of feedback and people ordering. It’s different for me because I’m not used to cooking vegan, but I am enjoying it so far!
