Our Story
How It All Started
What began as a simple passion for cooking has blossomed into something truly special. Our founder, Lydia, has always found joy in the kitchen, especially in creating small chops that excite and bring people together. Over time, her love for crafting creative, flavour-packed finger foods became something others couldn’t stop talking about.
Encouraged by constant positive feedback and support from her community, Lydia turned her passion into a business and Lydia’s Kitchen was born
