Anita Monro and Vanessa Rodgers
We are Anita and Vanessa, two mothers with over twenty years of cooking experience between us. We were brought together when Anita answered an advert to make some healthy homecooked meals for Vanessa, who was just about to have her third baby. We’ve ended up seeing each other every Saturday for over two years, and as a result, have become great friends.
Anita is a catering professional who is passionate about food and nutrition. Having owned and run her own café in North London for four years, she went on to become the contracted Catering Manager at MTV and then Sony PlayStation overseeing up to 2,000 employees. The daily focus was on fresh, healthy food, with sustainability and innovation at the core. From MTV & Sony, to becoming a mother and meeting Vanessa, Anita is now following a raw vegan diet, and is currently studying at the Institute of Transformational Nutrition to become a Certified Nutrition Coach. Anita is from Poland, married to an English botanist and they live in London with their son. They are currently working on their first cookbook for children, focusing on plant-based and healthy recipes.
