  You're a Mindful Adaptor

  You're a Mindful Adaptor because food matters to you! And it's not just about the taste.You're extremely interested in the food you eat, what it contains and where it has come from. It is super important that every morsel from your fork to your mouth is 100% right.

And talking of lists - tell me the truth - I know you love a good one! Precision and keeping an eye on things are important because for you it really matters.

You want to love cooking again, create beautiful food and be back in control. Which means you'll stress less.

  You have Sophisticated Tastes

  To call you a home cook may be a little insulting! You're a home chef by anyone's standards!And as someone with sophisticated tastes you're extremely comfortable in the kitchen.

Quality over quantity every time. If you're not cheffing at home - you love a fine dining experience with friends.
