Co-Founder & CEO
Ghada Turner
Spice Profile: Masala Chai
Rich and warming.
Ghada, affectionately known as “Ghads”, is Pantry to Plate Co’s other half. She is a mother of 2, who’s love of all things food is very nearly as strong as her love for her children. (Sorry kids!). Her cooking style can only be described as ‘rustic’, and cooks by heart and taste, more than by recipe. Moderation has never been a strong suit, where she is renown for ‘cooking for the masses’ (even though the table setting is for 4 people!) And her biggest fear is that someone will leave the table hungry. There are very few things in life that make her happier then seeing an empty plate with a full stomach.
Professionally she has worked in senior roles within Project and Product Management for most of her career, which explains why she has a deep love for all things degustation and menu planning! Her roles at P2P include cooking, Marketing, Sales, Logistics and HR.
