About Brassica

Hey there! I'm Izzy, creator and founder of Brassica catering. I grew up in a small city in northern Italy, in a place where two cultures meet. My passion for plant-based food was born at an early age as my mother emphasised the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. I watched her bake bread, and make preserves and sauces that we would keep in our cellar for months and years to come.

Hey there! I'm Izzy, creator and founder of Brassica catering. I grew up in a small city in northern Italy, in a place where two cultures meet. My passion for plant-based food was born at an early age as my mother emphasised the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. I watched her bake bread, and make preserves and sauces that we would keep in our cellar for months and years to come. Our most common meal would be a spread of vegetables cooked in different ways. It comes as no surprise that, in my early twenties, I decided to make the switch to a fully plant-based diet. Although my mother planted the seed, it is this change that truly ignited my passion for cooking and allowed me to find a tool for creative expression. After completing numerous cooking courses and working in restaurants and cafes, I had the opportunity to cook on a yoga retreat - and that is where it all truly came to life. Today, I am passionate about sharing food that is delicious, and good for the body, the mind, the environment and the animals, with no compromise on flavour. I draw inspiration from my travels and all the incredible people I have met along the way. Sustainability and nutrition are at the heart of my cooking and while I often incorporate meals and ingredients that are close to my roots, I strive to stay at the forefront of plant-based innovation.
