Hello Steemies, I'm Katie. I'm a half-English, half-Scottish lassie, and I live between the UK and France...not in the English Channel you understand, I mean I'm back and forth between the two!
In my thirty years on the earth I've lived in England, Scotland, France, Italy and Holland. I suppose you might say I'm a bit of a free spirit. I'm more bohemian than most! Here I am after a few too many cocktails.
I'm an actress. I grew up watching stage shows from the age of 1, and the theatre has held me captivated since then. I get goosebumps when I watch a play well acted, and tears in my eyes when the actors take their bows.
Here's me in a short film I did a while ago. There were two leading ladies (alter egos) and I played them both!
And I'm a chef too. I've always loved cooking, and I decided to take the plunge and re-train a couple of years ago. I enjoy having a go at making anything but I particularly love recreating Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. I have a weakness for butter, chocolate and aubergines. Not in the same mouthful though…
Here's a summer ceviche I made for some private clients.
Here I am at the Ritz in London after scoffing my way through a champagne afternoon tea. It was divine! A real treat.
I can't wait to get stuck into Steemit, and to read all of your interesting posts. In return I'm going to be blogging, mainly about my food, mostly about desserts!
I made these macarons for a surprise tea party with some friends.
I'm into presentation- I work in fine dining so it's all about detail, subtlety, colour and imagination. Here's a dessert I made.
I hope you'll look out for my posts. See you again soon Steemies! XXX
