About Vanessa

Welcome to Wild Flours, a blog to encourage you to cook with your children. I am Vanessa and I'm the mama of two girls, Helena and Florence. I'm a school teacher, working with senior girls teaching them Food Technology. I am married to my Dutch husband and together we live in Aberdeen, Scotland. 

I come from a family who love and respect food so it was always important to me that my children would view food in the same way. From a very young age we have involved the children as much as possible in the growing and discovering of food. They help choose a recipe for dinner, they love to help prepare it and we always sit together to eat it. It is from this that Wild Flours has been created. 

From Africa, to America and back to Europe our love of travelling has allowed us to discover some incredible places and different kinds of food and so the girls have learnt about ingredients from home and afar. All of the experiences we've picked up along the way go into what we eat. 

Cooking good food is making memories for us and we want to share those with you.
