Natasha MacAller

If cooking is an art and baking is a science, Natasha MacAller is a chef who flawlessly dances in both worlds. Her "less is more" approach to cooking and baking has made her stand out among her peers and continues to catch the attention of press in the US, UK and New Zealand. A former professional ballerina, Natasha brings the same diligence and precision to the kitchen as she did to dancing. She's now known as the "Dancing Chef". Many people think they're world's apart - from ballerina to chef - but to Natasha, they are both performance arts, creative disciplines that demand dedication and hours of painstaking practice. As she explains, each artistic craft offers a fleeting experience, whether it's a whirl across the stage or savoring one of her decadent savoury, sweet or liquid creations. 'Vanilla Table' is Natasha's first book.
