My name is Nanette and Gourmet Worrier is where I write about food, family, life and travel. I've been a contributing writer for Malta Today but more recently have helped co-found eunèv an exciting global technology start-up for the meetings and events industry that is based out of Malta.

One thing you should know from the outset is that worrying is quintessentially Maltese. I would even go so far as to say that worrying could be considered to be the Maltese national pastime, and that eating and complaining come a close second and third.

Hence, expanding upon my Maltese DNA and the worrier theme is the deliberate and conscious choice to use organic, locally sourced, chemical free ingredients where possible. As a mama of two young children I am also gravely concerned as to how food is grown, harvested, sourced and produced.
