Welcome to the homepage of Lifestyle Presenter
& Masterchef of Great Britain, Paul Da Costa Greaves.
Discover the secret with Paul Da Costa Greaves; a spiritual healer & alternative therapist, running his kitchen under the guidance of Zen.
Born in Liverpool, I consist of a cheeky honest mix, reminiscent of natural northern spice. The initial explosive burst of personality & flair is followed through with a wild imagination, delicately layered with sensual middle notes, being excitable, entertaining, inviting, spontaneous, seductive & devilish. Essences of rose, lavender, frankincense & myrrh round off this striking pleasure.
Once quoted 'extraordinarily talented and very inventive!'
Discover the secret within my zen style approach to cooking, this is my art that consists of opposing elements (yin & yang, you might say!) and also under the Buddhist principle, Sanuk!..which translates 'to enjoy' is to 'have pleasure'.
Combining the above and the added positive vibration ‘flow of energy’ that is within our seasonal, organic & local fresh foods.
It is these which give me my balance of love & light which started me on my magickal journey to
making and preparing nutritional, enjoyable, sensual & yummy food.
This is a spiritual & healthy balance of Yin & Yang; using natures elements to harness my effectiveness for everyday life.
Air is my thoughts, Fire my passion & enthusiasm, Water is in my emotions, Earth is my grounded body, and my spirit gives me my inner self.
Quite literally, using my aromatherapy essential oils, herbal remedies and balance all come into my cooking.
For every project of mine to work I must have my phases of thought, enthusiasm, emotional involvement & formation.
On a much lighter note; I have often been described as colourful, occasionally funny but highly original. I have been told I cook like 'a male version of Nigella Lawson', yet verbally rough like Paul O'Grady!
I bring even the most everyday cooking experience to life - dinner parties take on an epic grandeur and picnic brunches become terrifically fun events.
I enjoy Talking, Cooking, ‘More Talking’, Socialising, the odd rum & coke at a party or two, theatre when I get time, and a good aerobics class in my past life.
Currently working with the cycle of the moon phase for different energies, remembering a new moon is a time of energy & enthusiasm.
Buddhist beliefs balance my mind & the Spiritual Energy I create flows to help me as a healer. Flowers & Herbs that are around us are blended for use within my cooking thus to strengthen the food for our nourishment.
Enjoy! so moto be.
