As a plant-based food advocate, Chantelle Nicholson grew up in New Zealand surrounded by seasonal produce and her love for plants. She is a multi-award winning chef, owner of Apricity Restaurant (Michelin Green Star 2023) in Mayfair, former chef-owner of now-closed and much-loved Covent Garden restaurant Tredwells (the recipient of a green Michelin star in 2021) and All’s Well, a ‘pandemic pop-up’.

This was a fascinating conversation where Chantelle talks candidly about food education, building inclusive experiences, operating a restaurant five days a week (not seven!), building time for recovery and recuperation – and what ‘Apricity’ means.
