I am a published food writer and recipe developer as well as a former restaurateur; many of my recipes have been published and featured in major UK magazines, newspaper supplements as well as food and drink websites, recipe books, supermarket leaflets, brochures and on recipe cards.
I am regularly commissioned by numerous major UK brands (see above) to create and develop recipes for them, with full nutritional information, food styling and photographic images provided.
