Best Food Photographer in London
The supper club is held in my home in London Fields, Hackney. It is like a dinner party in the tradition of a Vietnamese feast with homemade Vietnamese food.
Vietnamese food is about the balance of flavours, of sweet, salty and sour – there is no measuring device that can ever match your own taste buds.
A full packed brilliant year – it was the start of (just) Leluu and the end of Fernandez & Leluu
Jamie Oliver and I did a supper club together: Leluu & Oliver
I started the Vietnamese Cooking Classes
ALMOST had Feist at my cooking class!
Said Goodbye to stuff
Did great singles nights My Singles’ Valentine
But fell ill from hard work and stress and ended up in Homerton Hospital : (
Read the best book ever The History Of Love which developed my thoughts, views and hopefully writing skills and also did great creative writing classes.
Still kept running the supper club with great Vietnamese dishes like it was Secret Saigon In London
and made many people happy in their bellies and full in spirits.

Started to write: Love & Other Afflictions
In between, I cried, laughed and moaned. Always wishing for more, ate a hell of a lot, worked like a slave to myself, ruined relationships, burnt bridges and built long lasting friendships, love, lost my temper, walked the dogs and kept loading and unloading the darn dishwasher and formed an art to filling it up to the max and getting everything sparkling clean.At Christmas, I lost a boy.
