About Clare aka Sycamore Smyth:
"I'm a classically-trained chef and self-taught fermentalist - a London-based cook, teacher, writer, gluten-enthusiast and microbe-wrangler. I run my own one-woman catering company and run workshops at a variety of cookery schools in London and beyond. My twin culinary passions are fresh pasta and lacto-fermentation and you'll find both silky, comforting carbs and pops of fermented flavour on this menu."

About Haylee:
Haylee is a private chef, born in Walthamstow. She appeared on MasterChef in 2022 to showcase her love of cooking. Brought up in a Finnish-Jamaican family, she's always been inspired by her diverse food heritage. Nordic Feast is an exploration of her Finnish roots.
