I have the pleasure once again of cooking for the fantastic St Albans Action for Homeless

Tonight’s House of Alchemy menu is all about providing a proper, hearty homemade meal, full of nutritional goodness and made with care 💛

Good food is one of the simplest ways we can show somebody they’re thought about and cared for.

It’s a real privilege to be able to cook for our local community again. 💛
