Clarissa has practiced exclusively in the area of family law since her admission to the profession in 2003.

In 2014 Clarissa was also named among the leading Family Lawyers in Queensland by the Doyle’s Guide to the Australian Legal Profession. She also recently won the Key Person of Influence Brisbane Pitchfest 2014, and I was lucky to witness her brilliance.
In November 2010 Clarissa launched her second business venture, Ma Belle Amie Coffee & Curiosities – a cafe and gift store located next to the Brisbane Family Law Centre office.
She talks to me about her food influences, what she learned when she got into the food industry.
Nutrition and Meal Plans
What foods to actively seek out
“I eat what my husband makes me”
Clarissa’s fondest food memories
Birthday Cakes. Clarissa’s mum used to make the beautiful Women’s Weekly Birthday Cakes. Spaghetti is her favourite meal growing up and is still one of her favourites today.
Exercise Routine
Clarissa is a runner and has always loved the idea of exercise regular.
Cooking tips
Get a husband and never complain.
Quick dinner ideas
Make a phone call, own a cafe, or, get a personal chef.
Tips on reducing wastage
One of the biggest learning she learned from stocking pre-made cakes was that it didn’t work in her cafe. So, to reduce wastage they make their own cakes in-house.
