I am originally from Ilkley in West Yorkshire and I enjoyed a varied career in IT in London before having my family. That’s when I found my myself on the other side of the pond and became a partner and COO at Zen of Slow Cooking (a Yogini Brand). Zen is a Chicago based certified B Corp which I co-created with my business partner, Meg Barnhart, in the 7 years I lived there. We manufacture perfectly portioned, no nasties spice blends and infusions for the slow cooker, pressure cooker, and one-pot meals and in addition sell pre-prepped meal kits. (think Hello Fresh, Gousto etc.) What’s new in the last 12 months? Despite the pandemic we are growing in all channels. Our uplift has come at a time when more folks are seeking inspiration in their home kitchens. I think we’ve all felt the fatigue of home cooking everyday over the last 9 months. Finally as we work virtually through the pandemic I added a puppy to our family, a 16 week old Cavachon called Fino!

Other than my children, my business - Zen of Slow Cooking
We moved to France and we loved our house but had little genuine connection with anyone. When we left I felt relief. The next move 3 years later was to Chicago and I embraced the opportunity, said YES to everything once (despite being terrified) and opened my heart to a city and it's people. We stayed 7 years and didn't want to leave.

We are health focused and provide hundreds of tried and true recipes via our blends, website and blog. We have an ongoing social mission to help underserved communities in society through a number of give back initiatives and our inclusive economy work model.

If you feel buried, begin to uncover yourself and push off from here. Find a resource or a friend to help you.
Find a mentor and study their work or business and ask a thousand questions. Don't be afraid to take a year out if that's what you want.
Be picky if you can. Treat job hunting like a full time job.
Much more meal solutions focused - the art of assembly. Grocery stores will adapt to the experience for the shopper. Perhaps the aisles as we know them will be redefined.
My business partner. She is an honest, hard working, thoughtful, and creative partner and friend. She behaves like a mentor with such ease.
