Janie has always had a love for good quality seasonal ingredients; cooking, eating and sharing food became her passion and eventually led her to gain a diploma in Food and Wine from Leith’s School in the mid ‘80s. At an inspiring time to be a young chef in London, Janie went to work at Sonny’s in Barnes, before moving to Olympic Recording Studios, and then on to Rhubarb. Over the years, Janie has worked with Arnold & Henderson, The Clerkenwell Kitchen and has been a listed caterer at The Design Museum. She then found herself at The Modern Pantry with Anna Hansen, who has a completely fresh approach to food and a passion for flavour and spice – a cooking style which has stayed with Janie.
