Tine Roche

Having grown up in Denmark and Sweden before moving to London in her mid 20s, Tine initially worked for the Swedish Chamber of Commerce from where she joined a large branding agency working for leading Scandinavian food producers.

Tine, who also trained at the renowned Leith School of Food & Wine, worked as a futures trend analyst, tailor-making global fact-finding trips for large food producers.

On a visit with clients to San Francisco 15 years ago, she stumbled upon a corporate cookery event and had an epiphany, going on to found Cambridge Cookery School in 2008.
