About

I’m a passionate and experienced Home Economist, Food Stylist, Recipe Writer, and Food TV Producer, specialising in creating standout food content across TV, publishing, retail and digital. I’ve developed, tested and styled hundreds of recipes for high-profile chefs, broadcasters, supermarkets and publishers — working from brief through to finished product. Whether I’m managing 150+ recipes for a cookbook or food producing a TV series, I ensure the food is consistent, authentic and ready for its close-up. 🔸 Specialisms include: • Recipe development, editing & testing (TV, books, social, point of sale) • Food styling and home economist for live studio, location shoots, print & social • Casting & producing chefs on camera • Translating restaurant recipes into clear, domestic formats • Nutritional and editorial brief writing • Travel-based research & development for food projects I’m known for being calm, collaborative and creative — and thrive in deadline-driven environments where every detail counts.
