ABOUT ME …
After completing a diploma in Food & Wine at at Leiths, I found my way into the cookery departments of various women’s magazines as a recipe tester and went on to edit the cookery pages of Essentials magazine, winning IPC’s Young Journalist of the Year Award at the age of 23.
I launched my career as a food stylist and writer shortly after, creating beautiful images for cookbooks, along with recipe development and packaging for brands such as Marks and Spencers.
Longing to feed ‘real’ people again, I did a ‘stage’ at Stevie Parle’s Dock Kitchen and spent a month cooking for the Kings of Leon on their UK tour, until an opening came up at Waitrose Food Illustrated Magazine as Food Editor. This gave me the opportunity to write my own recipes and commission a variety of interesting food content, working with many renowned food writers and chefs, such as Diana Henry, Claudia Roden, Sophie Grigson and Ottolenghi. I went on to write several of my own cookbooks and cofounded a speciality coffee business.
I now take on consultancy projects for various clients. I worked with ckbk - a digital start up dubbed “the Spotify of cookbooks” as their Digital Food & Content editor and am currently developing new recipes for various brands.
