'TUNA MORNAY WAS MUM'S FAVOURITE'

This Mother’s Day, Rhiannon will be remembering her late mum Sue, who sadly lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2021. The inspiration behind her love of food, Rhiannon, now 48, was 11 when her mum became a chef and taught her everything she knows, pushing her to go on MasterChef.

“Mum sadly lost her battle with ovarian cancer before she could see that dream happen, but I know she’ll be in the kitchen with me every step of the way,” says the mum of five.

“My mum’s favourite dish would be a roast lamb with duck fat potatoes, broccoli, gravy and cauliflower in white cheese sauce... Mum taught me so many things about cooking, the last dinner I ever made her was a requested tuna mornay.”

With her own daughter Monique and four step-kids, Rhiannon says she always dreamed of becoming a mum. “It completely changed my perspective on life. The love you have for them is like no other. One thing we always did was sit down at the table every night and talk about our day. I have always cooked so many different cuisines to make the kids culturally aware through food.”
