CHIEF BROWNIE OFFICER
Hi, Lauren here, self-titled ... Chief Brownie Officer.
Chocolate lover bordering addict for decades. I've spent a lifetime chomping through every bit of chocolate possible, from home to every holiday to living abroad. (Boy, was I sad when living in America; Cadbury's didn't taste the same, and Hershey was just a no thanks).
I wanted to become a Cadbury mini egg ambassador for a while. So I would get a free supply but instead spent my wages on packets and tubes of the mini morsels, alongside Terry chocolate oranges. Elite in different ways. They are a cut above as a perfect snack, but you see, when it came to eating brownies and cakes, nothing ever was .... chocolatey enough. It never hit the spot.
Whilst eating chocolate, I had a day job. For two decades, I have been fortunate to work mainly in television production or, now ... content. After a spell on Kilroy and Garden Invaders, all I wanted to do was quit and become a chef. But instead, I found a way to combine my two passions.
I began working with Gordon Ramsay on the UK Kitchen Nightmares, F work and then went to Los Angeles with him and worked on Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef USA. I travelled to Southeast Asia (where they don't eat so much chocolate) and co-wrote a cookbook with him. I sold pans on QVC and helped with recipe development.
But then it was time to return to the UK, where I could devour Cadbury's again, and I then worked in Jamie's Oliver Television company. And that was the next three years. This is where I started on the side catering, a food blog - dipping my toe into this world, but I needed to be bolder to commit. I left and have worked in the freelance world ever since, working with talents such as Adam Richmond (Man vs. Food), Richard Corrigan, and Tommy Banks, to name a few.
Fast forward to many years now. Two wee babies and a burning passion to get a super chocolatey goey indulgent brownie out to you all.
The name Enfiled Eats was born out of the love for the local area ... and eating.
Hopefully, this is the start of something bigger.
Thank you for supporting this small business.
