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's @guardianfeast is full of Xmas dinner ideas, including this 👌 tart and the most delicious lemony roast potatoes by @we_are_food . There's still time to grab a paper and start planning. 📷@matt_russell and me on the food assist. 🎄
More running chat...yesterday's 10k done and I smashed my fundraising goal (link in bio if you fancy chucking us a bob or two)! I also got to meet and pose with a few mayors, including @mayorofldn and a Lord whilst clad in lycra. 😥 Thanks to everyone for their very generous donations and thanks to @positiveeast for organising another huge success! That's me outta lycra and back in the kitchen for a while! 🏅🏅
Another delicious one from @we_are_food. 📷@matt_russell and me on the assist. #Repost @we_are_food (@get_repost) ・・・ B I T T E R S W E E T / Our palates have changed and bitter is not a flavour we use much. Paired with sweetness bitter flavours are key to building a rounded profile of flavour. In this weeks @guardianfeast 2 recipes which use bitter in the right way. These recipes use bitter in this mellow, measured way. A pasta with grilled radicchio and a bitter orange salad dressing. 📸 @matt_russell
Disrupting regular food chat to talk about running. Yeah, I *should* do a lot more of it, especially in the lead up to a 10k. Looks like training won't happen, so instead, here's a last minute appeal for donations to keep me honest (I am terribly tempted to call it quits at 5k). I am running to raise money for @positiveeast an East London-based charity that does amazing work to support people living with HIV. Such a wonderful bunch and I am proud to be a Trustee. Link to donate in my bio.
Closing out a ridiculously busy week and weekend of shooting, writing, testing, cooking, fermenting and teaching. Oh and mumming. Phew! 📷 from my Xmas pudding and biscuit class x 2 @gardenmuseum today. 🎄
Bit of chat on supplementing (or not) a plant-based diet over @veggieoption. Unsurprisingly it includes fermented foods (I'm not biased). Head over and click the link in @veggieoption biofor a read. #Repost @veggieoption (@get_repost) ・・・ Having a plant-based diet means that at some point, pretty much all of us have had to answer the question, 'But where do you get your protein?’ If you haven’t, lucky you. But if you have, you’ll have done your homework and know, and presumably it is now common knowledge, that you can get protein from plant-based sources (as well as dairy and eggs, if those are also a part of your diet). Most of us are probably quite good at ensuring these nutrients are included as part of a daily diet and otherwise attempt to eat a varied, nutrient-rich diet full of whole, unprocessed foods (most of the time). But are there any nutrients should be concerned that we many need to supplement? And how best to ensure we get these nutrients?
