| Introduction | My name is Leila, I am a follower of Jesus, wife, mother of 3 beautiful children, a passionate cook and people lover. Initially while we lived in Sydney I developed 'tablenosh' as a way I could open my home and gather all sorts of people around the table to eat and share life. A 'tablenosh' dinner was sort of like a dinner party open to the public...you had to book in and I could only seat 10 people. I truly love sharing our table, and filling up our home with friends, family and even strangers. I am an experimental cook with specific appreciation for real food and gluten free. I don't have any formal training other than a cooking class or two, but enjoy learning right here in my kitchen. Tablenosh has been a wonderful opportunity to see food bring all kinds of people together around the table. It has also been a great chance for me to grow my culinary skills. Although at this stage now in Richmond, I am not doing 'tablenosh' dinners like I did in Sydney but we do our best to open our table and share fellowship around the table. I also continue to explore cooking ideas and concepts, particularly gluten free, local, paleo and gut healing! |
