Cook + Recipe Developer
Veronica is a cook, recipe developer and food writer. Born to Polish immigrant parents, Veronica grew up in the culinary melting pot of Melbourne. Dinner parties, trips to the Queen Victoria Market and cooking at the kitchen bench alongside the grown ups formed the centrepiece of her childhood. Starting out as a glassy at the local Irish pub, Veronica worked her way up to working as a chef, and eventually head chef of some of the southern Gold Coast’s most loved casual dining venues including Stable at Cornerstone and Greenhouse. When she and her partner (who’s also a chef!) started their family, Veronica stepped away from commercial kitchens, but recently, she found her way back to the world of food through sharing easy, delicious cooking content on social media. You’ll find her whipping up a fancy salad or an easy week night dinner (usually with a baby on her hip and a five-year-old zipping through the kitchen) at @vewnuk.

Petria Leggo-Field
Content Creator + Founder of The Late Blooming Lounge
Hello, I’m Petria , a 38-year-old queer, solo mum to four wonderful children.
In the last 3 years, I embarked on a deeply personal journey, one that led me to a profound realization: I am a late bloomer lesbian.
I’m eager to share my story, not just for myself but for other women who, like me, may have lost a part of themselves in the midst of motherhood. My hope is that my journey can serve as an inspiration to anyone grappling with confusion about their own sexuality, encouraging them to embrace curiosity and make brave choices.
