As you all know lifeisazoobiscuit is predominantly a food blog, it is mostly about food and the dishes I like to cook, but it is also something more than this, it is a part of me, a part of life and the universe. I have decided to add another chapter to the existence of lifeisazoobiscuit by adding ‘zoo talk’. I am going interview colourful and interesting people and hopefully give everyone a glimpse of their character, life and experiences. I will ask each guest just six questions.

My first zoo talker is the lovely Jade de Waal. I met Jade on my Masterchef journey and since then we have shared some brilliant times together, cooking, laughing in the kitchen and foodjamming…! I tracked Jade down in Mozambique where she was cooking under the hot African sun amidst the smiling, happy people of Moz and between the idyllic beaches of the Indian Ocean blue…
