She is married to chef Shaun Hill and now lives in Worcester. For 10 years Anja shared the cooking with her husband at their Michelin starred restaurant in Ludlow, The Merchant House. The first broadsheet review for the restaurant announced that the place was worth a detour for Anja’s bread rolls alone.
