I'm a London-based food stylist, writer and recipe tester. I've been involved with food for photography and recipe testing for ten years. I've followed my passion for food for a long time, not least since hanging around my mum's kitchen while she cooked amazing food throughout my childhood.

During my Fine Art degree in Canterbury, I supported myself by working in restaurants and after graduation assisted food photographers working with some of the country's top chefs; needless to say, I Iearned a lot.

My passion for food outweighed my passion for photography and led me to work for two years as a chef at Coq d'Argent and start a catering company. I also worked as a private chef for many City firms, cooking great lunches for big cheeses.

I now focus on food styling and recipe testing and have done a wide range of shoots with leading UK titles such as Easy Living, Olive and The Times, among others

My favourite cookbooks are Roast Chicken and Other Stories by Simon Hopkinson, the Les Halles Cookbook by Anthony Bourdain, Larousse Gastronomique, and The Congressional Club Cookbook from 1927, although I'm finding it difficult to bring myself to cook 'Lungs with dumplings' by Mme Edgar Prochnik, wife of the Minister from Austria.

I love eating and travelling, wherever possible combining the two, and am always looking for exciting new things to get my teeth into.
