About the chef, Tarryn

Tarryn Williams (they/them) brings 6+ years of experience as a plant-based head chef, pastry chef and cooking teacher. Their cooking journey spans a wide range of kitchens — from serving up elevated comfort food at Hackney plant-based café MOTHER, to creating refined desserts at critically-acclaimed Central London restaurants like Tendril, Café Petiole and Holy Carrot.

Tarryn brings a specialist knowledge of plant-based baking and pâtisserie — an area they’ve honed through years of dedicated self-development, alongside training with leading vegan pastry experts Toni Rodriguez and Richard Hawke. They offer a rare and comprehensive knowledge in this growing culinary field.

Passionate about making good food accessible to all, Tarryn combines a professional approach with a welcoming, down-to-earth teaching style. Their recipes are often rooted in nostalgia — drawing inspiration from the sentimental dishes and moments that connect us to family, friends, and memory.
