Shivi has been dubbed by The Guardian as “Caribbean Food Supremo”, and by BA The Club magazine as "Queen of Contemporary Caribbean Cooking". She has shared her unique, fresh and colourful approach to flavoursome Caribbean food across London and the UK, via her supper club, and subsequently through restaurant and brand collaborations and her first book, Caribbean Modern: Recipes From The Rum Islands. She is a Food Hero for P&O Cruises, alongside Marco-Pierre White, José Pizarro, Kjarten Skjelde and Olly Smith, creating a Caribbean-inspired menu for the onboard restaurant. Her journey with food continues with each change in her life, now favouring a thoughtful waste-free approach to food, for the whole family, in whatever sense that can take form, time-saving, low-cost and clever cooking. But without a doubt, she and her recipes still adhere to her original signatures of vibrant colour, bold flavour and tropical touches.
Many moons ago, Shivi was born in Trinidad into a colourful (in all senses of the word) family and brought up between those beloved salty beaches, the grassy Leicestershire countryside (via a brief stint in the Big Apple) and the eclectic buzz of London where she has now settled and calls ‘home’. She lives with her husband and her three little wildlings.
