Matilda Tsappis was raised in rural Scotland, her husband Tom grew up near Romford in Essex, and they might never have met had they not both decided to spend a spell living and working in Japan. They bumped into each other while watching a Rugby match at an English pub in Tokyo.
Since then this risk-taking couple have continued uprooting their lives and careers, returning to London, setting up an at-home supper club, and then taking on a restaurant in the wilds of Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. Along the way they have also become parents to Evelyn, now 18 months.
