Bayleys Plate up for a Purpose - Michelle Sharp

Michelle ‘Queen of Spice ‘ Sharp, CEO UNICEF Aotearoa New Zealand

What is your cooking experience? I am passionately flamboyant with a twist of rustic (i.e. I Love to try hard, but it all gets a bit messy once on the plate!)

What is your signature dish? Huevos a la Mexicana as part of a Mexican breakfast feast. I also love doing (rustic) platters, that’s a real passion of mine.

Why are you putting yourself on the line? Having worked very closely with school leavers within learning disabilities for over a decade as part of my previous role as CEO of Kilmarnock Enterprises, I have seen first-hand the importance of inclusive education. I feel absolutely privileged to be able to meaningfully contribute to such an amazing and worthwhile cause.
