Memories from the Seychelles

Memories from the Seychelles

Anne Barr was one of 91 Ways’ 180 guests who came to our launch back in June. Together we made new friends from all over the world as we shared a global banquet.

Anne remembers her favourite childhood meal being fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, “It always reminded me of the seaside!”

Anne is now a passionate advocate of organic ingredients “I cook with organic ingredients as much as I can. Having spent time living in the Seychelles, one of my 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.”
