The deliciously fresh flavours of Latina Fresh wouldn’t be the same without Lisa O’Shannessy, one of our talented and passionate food consultants.

Lisa has worked in the food industry for over 20 years, and she’s responsible for creating and developing some of our favourite recipes. Her talent for creating irresistible dishes stems from a broad career, ranging from recipe creation to food styling and developing new products.

In the Latina Fresh kitchen she works with two assisting food consultants to create new pasta fillings and recipes, like her irresistible gnocchi potato salad with crispy prosciutto, peas and a creamy sour cream and parsley dressing. With three kids whose favourite dish is lasagne, Lisa often has to take her work home with her! For an easy mid week meal she can’t go past fettuccine with a dash of olive oil, parmesan cheese and black pepper. It’s her daughter’s favourite before drama class!

A foodie at heart, Lisa is passionate about food and new trends. There’s nothing she loves more than discovering new ingredients or the arrival of her food magazines! Knowing that Latina’s recipes help people to enjoy a meal with their family is what makes it all worthwhile for Lisa.
