Product Information

she traded chores for cooking, discovering a joy for creating dishes from scratch and even playfully pretending to host her own TV cooking show. Carmen is now 8 and big sister to Hendrix, 7, and Gemma runs Gem’s Wholesome Kitchen, making healthy meals for those who sign up to her Nourish Package. Being blessed with two healthy children was a turning point for Gem and after working in the mental health sector as a drugs counsellor for many years, Gem decided to pack her bags, with the family, and go to Barcelona for an adventure. And if they do open up a little more, know that their trust is a privilege, remind them how brave and magnificent they are, and work together to identify what is they need to help them continue to carry on. Gemma Ogston, Founder of Gem’s Wholesome Kitchen, joined us at November’s Chamber Breakfast to talk about her career journey so far - the challenges and successes, the ‘zigs and the zags’, and what she's learnt along the way.

She and Kevin celebrate by diving deeply into the '70s food world through the prism of Fanny Cradock, and find much more than green mashed potato and mince meat omelette. In Barcelona, her daily meal creations shared on social media garnered attention, particularly from her husband's music industry contacts, leading to a demand for her food for long flights.Taking a new direction, Gem joined the front-of-house team at London's inaugural Soho House in Greek Street. Gem: When we came into this space and took over the kitchen, one of the key things that we really wanted to do was something for the community and we didn’t know exactly what that would look like. But people don’t, and it’s a shame because we all deserve it – we all deserve to have five minutes of peace to ourselves, or whatever that may be.

When I started my tofu business Fu Fighters, I really needed some advice from someone else who was running a plant-based food business, so I tapped Gem up. Long-term partner, Mr Ogston, told the inquest yesterday: 'She had suggested to him he needed to see a psychiatrist to see if he could be cured. If I am busy working I always try and get outside for a walk to break the day up, even 15 minutes helps. Whatever mood is set around the breakfast table they will take to school with them, so we make it a celebration. Aside from food, making time to get to the gym is important to her, along with connecting with other people.

Rebel Wilson and her fiancee Ramona Agruma hold hands as they head back to their hotel after partying until 2 a.This is where her passion for mood foods really began, but cooking has always been a big part of Gemma’s life. I am forever grateful to S arah from Smorl’s who asked me to make some breakfast pots for her all those years ago and it is literally where my business started. Will fears Meghan and Harry could become 'Royals for hire' prompt King Charles to help fund their lives to avoid them looking elsewhere?

She learned to cook from her mum who is not only a fantastic cook but who also taught her how to cook on a budget. Gem grew up in a large family, and as the youngest child of five is used to being surrounded by lots of noise and happy chaos! I have been working on producing recipe booklets throughout the year on how to eat more plant-based on a budget and how to eat more sustainably.

Everyone that already runs a plant-based business is so passionate about it, they just want more plant-based businesses in the space.
