    Lesley Garden

    Lesley (foodie; cook; spice loving; gardener; city breaker) born and
    brought up in the North East of Scotland and has settled there with her
    family. With a background in Organisational & Business Development, she
    has worked across the globe including: China; India; and Singapore,
    fuelling her love of cooking and all things spicy. Lesley seeks out good
    food wherever she goes and is rarely seen without her notebook. With a
    palette many envy, she is able to pick out the key elements of most dishes which she then likes to recreate at home. Lesley’s guilty secret is her addiction to cookbooks, although she does claim to “read them like
    novels!”
