A book club has been formed by some of the readers where they discuss my mother’s journey and focus on their own ancestral traumas.

My career spans finance, executive search and consultancy. Investment banking took me from my hometown London to Boston, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Headhunting took me back to Japan, then, as head of a leading Financial Services practice, into the City of London’s most exclusive boardrooms. Mixing with “the great and the good” —Chairmen and CEOs of major public companies, Governors of the Bank of England, senior politicians and the like—my job was to work out what made them tick. Not just “Are they really any good?” but, “Are they trustworthy?” I wrote Zero Ri$k whilst creating the rubriqs people skills system, and spent much of 2023 in Zimbabwe on a major fraud case.

From the beginning of my life I have been moved from home to home, from Switzerland to London and from there into a number of different family homes. the various parental figures who each fed me differently formulated the relational significance and personal sensation of being fed on an emotional as well as physical level. As I grew up, being active in the kitchen would be the one place I felt safe and at home, playing with ingredients as extensions of my personality and powering my stability, creativity and appetite for life. Here I could feel worries and confusion slip away as I let a good sauce and chopping zesty ingredients engage my mind, body and spirit on a joint task. When people's noses began leading them to my kitchen, I realised
