The Chef

"Millets are important to me because they are so versatile, good for the farmer and the planet. They are a whole new world of possibilities for Chefs because they pick up flavours like a sponge! They are healthy, nutritious and delicious! I love working with them and will continue to create more recipes! Keep a look out!"
