Food Styling.

I work as a chef, assisting with food preparation on editorial and commercial food shoots. I have assisted on shoots for Guardian Cook, Jamie Magazine, Sainsbury Magazine, Waitrose Magazine and Waitrose Entertaining, Linda McCartney foods, as well as a number of upcoming cookbooks. I am currently looking for other freelance opportunities, please do get in touch.

Recipe Testing & Development.

I test recipes for cookbooks and develop recipes for nutritionists and food brands, such as Rude Health, to promote their kids product range. I also develop recipes for cookery lessons and workshops, a selection of which can be found in the Recipe section.

Workshops & Cookery Lessons.

I run small group fermentation and health baking workshops lessons for adults and children. For more information on workshops, see the Workshop tab. As well, I run family cookery lessons focused on getting the whole family to enjoy  whole, unprocessed food.

Natural Cookery.

My recipes, lessons and cooking ethos are focused on using whole, unprocessed, seasonal and organic (as often as possible) ingredients with a view to optimise nutrition. I am passionate about putting more plants into and at the centre of everyday meals, making healthier meals accessible and a part of everyday life.

Today over on @veggieoption we're talking 🍫. Head over to find out about some delicious ethical brands. #Repost @veggieoption (@get_repost) ・・・ As far as we are concerned, everyday should be celebrated with chocolate, but as today is Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d share with you some of our favourite sustainable, eco-friendly and ethical chocolate brands perfect for expressing your love via cocoa. From sustainably sourced, health-focused, fair-trade to organic cocoa and compostable packaging, here are 5 brands creating delicious bars whilst doing good. Some of these we have already featured and are worthy of the reminder, but we've found a few others  whilst ‘researching’ (aka eating) that also tick our boxes. So whatever sort of love you’re celebrating today; self-love, romantic love, friend love, or just a love for chocolate, we've got you covered...More via www.veggieoption.com . . . #veggieoption #chocolate #valentinesday #nucao #bareboneschocolate #coxcocacao #montezumas #lovechock
Recipes online now for @we_are_food 's Valentine's recipes. If I could only ever eat one thing again for the rest of my life, it would be this chocolate sauce. So simple and so delicious, you have to try it. 📷 @matt_russell 🍧@rosieramsden 🍽@louiewaller and me on the the food assist (and disposal of the leftover sauce). 🍒🍫 #Repost @we_are_food (@get_repost) ・・・ 🍒C H O C C H E R R Y S U N D A E / Valentine’s Day splits opinion. Some go all out – a table for two and all the red roses – others look down their noses at its cheesiness. I have for many years been firmly in the latter camp. As time goes by, maybe I am softening to the kitsch of it all and any chance for a small celebration. These choc cherry sundaes are the work of minutes and tick all the boxes for young old and everyone inbetween. Double ice cream, quick homemade ice magic (if you can remember that) choc sauce and an easy frozen cherry compote. Serve in tall frosted glasses with long sundae spoons (for digging right to the bottom of the glass) can be made totally vegan too ❤️ Recipe from this week’s @guardianfeast link up top. 📸 @matt_russell
I wrote an article on Food Energetics for @hbloggerscom a few weeks back. The piece involved interviewing the wonderful and knowledgeable @lori.hillman a food energetics practitioner and accupuncturist. I found the theory and concepts fascinating and practical and am looking forward to learning more at the taster weekend that Lori is running in March @omvedgardens. Link to the article in my bio and have a look at Lori's upcoming courses! 📷@hbloggerscom
Crumble and custard recipe over on @veggieoption that I wrote for @rudehealth a few months back. We made this last weekend at one of my Family Feast classes @gardenmuseum and it hit the spot. A perfect one to make to warm up this weekend. ❄❄Head over to @veggieoption for more...🍐🍐
Talking 2019 food trends over on @veggieoption. Head over and have a read! #Repost @veggieoption (@get_repost) ・・・ 2018 was perhaps the peak and demise of avocados and both street food and kombucha hit the food scene hard. But what is set to make waves in 2019? We did our research across several sources and have picked our favourite trends including a zero waste life, non-plastic packaging, lab or no meat, and vegan fine dining. Which of these trends are you hoping take off? Any others that you’d like to see the end of before they even start? Either way, here’s to watching it all unfold!

Model I am not. But being a mum and nutritional chef has taught me a thing or two about looking after your nutritional needs during and post pregnancy. My lovely mum friend and jumpsuit genius @_beyond_nine let me write about it over on her blog. Go take a look. And have a look at her jumpsuits while you're there. I desperately wish these had been around when I was pregnant. BUT the great thing is they work with or without a bump. I have lived in mine this winter and it is definitely my most favourite thing to wear. Link also in my bio. 🤗
