The childrenswear designer added that although during her twenties she took a back seat in the kitchen due to her busy work schedule, she soon got back into it after meeting now husband, Jesse Wood. She added: "It wasn’t until I met my husband in my late 20s that I kind of decided quite naturally that it was more of an important ceremony: to have a dinner and sit down with him and his children, who are my step kids now, and have that family time. I applied what I’d learned through baking for a long time, like how I like to experiment. And I don’t do things by halves so I got obsessed."
