For all those in favour of healthy but fulfilling meals – this is your lady in shining pans. Stefy Zammit describes herself as a dreamer and she certainly has turned things around – from being a real estate agent to a landlady, to a cook and work away on her website Honey and Zest creating recipes.

You will never find me... sharing my bottle of water.

I will not function in the morning without... half-an-hour of my own peace and solitude before the world wakes up.

The best invention is... the internet.

What makes me happiest is... Jack my beagle, family and friends.

My favourite space in my house is... definitely the kitchen, as I spend a lot of time creating and cooking recipes.

The most inspirational person in my life is... Katharine Hepburn. Through her acting and her life she helped re-define the traditional views of women's role in society.

The most unforgettable place I have visited is... The Alps. It was a fantastic time, full of love, good food and plenty of exercise.

The last place I visited was... Dublin

The last thing I added to my wardrobe is... another Nike sportswear item, because I live in them.

The best gift I have received recently is... a cookbook from my 10-year-old nephew who bought it from a book fair with his pocket money to thank me for often making him his favourite smoothies. I melted.

The last song I listened to was... Something Just Like This by Coldplay. I love the band.

I would like to learn how to... play the saxophone.

The book I am reading is... Women who run with the wolves - a fascinating collection of stories interpreted by women in search of their own inner spirit regardless of age, race, creed or religion - it is simply wonderful.

My most recent find is... an online organic vegetable and fruit site, www.farmersdelimalta.com.

The website I will often browse is... my own.

The most beautiful building in the world is... Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

The most spectacular city in the world is... Paris. It is just such a majestic city and I have very fond memories of it.

The objects I would never part with are... my pen and notepad, as I am lost without them.

An indulgence I would never give up is... taking care of my body and mind.

The thing you will always find in my fridge is... a cold, glass bottle of water.

If I could get away for the day it would have to be to... Wales, to trek and eat good food, have a cup of tea by the fireplace and read a book - mmm, I wish I was there!

One thing I never get round to doing and wish to is... open a holistic B&B and run it.

If had no choice but to change my line of work I would love to be... a psychologist.

My most luxurious habit is... visiting a spa.

The only way I know how to switch off is... to go for a walk with my dog in solitude amidst greenery.

The one characteristic I wish I had is... more diligence and not to procrastinate.

What I really admire is... standing up for what you believe in and being strong.

The one thing that gets me down is... bad manners.

I'm so thankful for... life.

My most recent collaboration was with... SHE Malta. I met two wonderful ladies, Julia Perry and Sass Woods, founders of SHE Malta of whom I have grown very fond, and I provided the catering for their second event which was all about empowering women in business. This is a subject about which I am very passionate as I feel that, by supporting and encouraging each other, we can do whatever we set out to achieve.
