Nadine Abensur created and managed the UK’s first top-level vegetarian catering company, Culinary Arts, in 1987. And in 1995 she joined the iconic Cranks vegetarian chain as Food Director.
Then after twenty years in vegetarian food, she decided to pursue her other passion and opened an art gallery called art piece gallery in the hinterland of Byron Bay in Australia. She thought she was done with cooking. As if anyone who likes to cook, eat, and more importantly, feed others can ever be done with cooking. However, she never gave up teaching and now and again, continued to cook for weddings and private events.
A few years back, Nadine moved to Paris. The move rekindled her culinary creativity. Paris markets bristle with the world’s finest ingredients, and the move to France also reinspired her love of desserts and patisserie. She now offers regular cookery classes in New South Wales and is also teaching in London, Paris and elsewhere in Europe and Australia.
