About
I love to cook with seasonal local produce.
I think ingredients should be as nature intended.
I care about the journey food makes from producer to plate.
I’m Alice Bamford and Love a Locavore is my cottage industry. I was raised on my parents' family farm in the Cotswolds, surrounded by abundant fresh produce.
Amongst my earliest and most cherished memories are Sunday roasts, visits to my grandmother's kitchen garden, and cooking with my nanny Ada.
In autumn 2008 I moved to New York City to study at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts. Natural Gourmet taught me a holistic approach to food and trained me in the preparation of delicious, wholesome and nutritionally balanced dishes.
It’s also where I first encountered the word 'locavore'!
Having honed my skills and broadened my repertoire in kitchens in New York and London, I set up Love a Locavore in 2009 to cater exclusively for my own clients.
