It isn’t unusual, we’ve discovered, to find Lucy stashed away in her kitchen. It is, after all, her favorite place to be when at home. “I’m in here.” We find her radiating with excitement and with her hands peppered in some unidentified dry ingredients. “I’ve been making socca.”
The beautiful aroma that greeted us at the door has been revealed. Hand-made socca crisps away in the oven and the windows of her kitchen start to fog up. We are advised to wait until the exact right moment before pulling it out to eat.
Looking around her home, which is set on the cliff in Point Chevalier and hosts views across the Waitemata Harbour, is wonderfully pared back, considered, warm and full of knowledge. Lucy, in a way, is very similar. Dressed in an understatedly cool white linen shirt and blue jeans, she is confident, instantly generous and busting to tell you about something you’d previously never considered.
With an enormous passion for getting the most out of everyday, both physically and mentally, Lucy Vincent has set her life up accordingly. She’s particular, to say the least, but not annoyingly so. It is this devotion to detail that, in turn, loosens her working day, so that in the long run, she creates a more direct, simpler approach to everything she does. And there is a lot on her plate. However, Lucy’s plate has been curated in such a way that it runs at its most optimum. With a generous serving of good books and green tonics, it is rid of any clutter or nasties.
Our conversations continued to trail off into all sorts of kitchen combinations, the fine art of fermentation and the practice of pickling. When we finally did get back on track, our conversation started here…
