Cooking with Vicky

Hello. Welcome to my new column in the Brida Journal. My name is Vicky, and you might have heard of me through my catering company, Vicky’s Van of Victuals, down in the harbour. Or seen me as I race through the streets of Brida, giving all you wonderful people something delicious from my kitchen.

Oh, and don’t hesitate to email me for advice or suggestions. All part of the service.
