She is now Executive Chef of Joe's in Kensington. She was voted one of the Top 10 Female Chefs by the Independent. She joins Jenni to cook her version of the perfect meatballs - Cosy Lamb Meatballs. A childhood favourite, they are combined with a hint of spice, gently cooked with Dino's Greek pea and tomato sauce, and served with mashed potatoes. Full of Flavour: Create ...
