About Vivianne Pontes
Food researcher Vivianne Pontes experiences food through many walks of life and adventures. She graduated with a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree which has developed and enriched her Food Science perspective. But through her travels and the exciting melting pot of foods in her native Brazil, she explored the intimate cultural foundations and many shared elements and overlays that form the basis of many dishes. She has written extensively about food and produced some pioneering content about aquafaba on the internet. Vivianne experienced the professional side of the food industry working as a head chef and consultant for pubs and restaurants in the UK. She never stops researching and experimenting with food & flavours. Lucky for us, she landed at Made in Hackney where she assists on the classes programme and sometimes pops in to run her own classes which have been hugely popular with our community. When asked where she got this deep love for food, she replied: "Because I am always hungry; for food, for knowledge, for sharing."
