Former Sustainability Manager for Pukka Herbs Anne Barr remembers her favourite childhood meal being fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, “It always reminded me of the seaside”. She now cooks with organic ingredients as much as she can. Having spent time living in the Seychelles, one of her favourite recipes is based on the food there, “I ate this as my staple food. It reminds me of the time I spent there and the people I met and the experience I had.”
