Toby Davidson

Toby is the founder of SameTable and father to a mixed diet household.

Following a Sport Science degree at Unniversity College Chester, I have a good understanding of what the body needs to achieve to successfully fuel itself, whiclst also having a passion for good nutrition and taste. I spent my time at unniversity eating to fuel rather than enjoy, and realised there is the ability to do both. It is possible to create healthy AND tasty meals at home, meeting the nutritional needs to support a healthy lifestyle without resorting to boring meals of rice, chicken and lentils for every meal.

Having been in charge of first of all pescatarian before fully vegetarian household members, I have experienced first hand the challenges of cooking good food for the family whilst avoiding pushing rubbish and engineered options to the plate each day.

Following identifying the need for something like SameTable, I have refreshed my nutrition experience gained during my degree and added food safety as well as focusing on stretching my learning on food combinations available to support flavour and health. With a number of food and cooking training courses, from bread and sourdough with the renowned pastry chef Ursula Ferrigno at the Jerrico Kitchen to fish and seafood masterclasses at the Ashburton Cookery School with Olivia Carbonari, I am constantly working on bringing not only nutrition but also the best flavour and health options to the SameTable library to support your household requirements.
