Carmen - The Cooking Flea

Carmen, affectionately known as Carmencita, is the heart behind The Cooking Flea — a space where food is joy, connection, and a celebration of life. Born in the South of Italy and raised in kitchens filled with tradition and love, Carmen’s culinary journey began alongside her mother and great-grandmother, where food was made by intuition and soul. Now plant-based, she blends her roots with a fresh, conscious approach to cooking, championing vibrant, wholesome meals that honour both heritage and sustainability. Through her passion, Carmen invites others to reconnect with the magic of homemade food — where every dish tells a story.
