Recipe Development

Brown Sugar Meringues are arranged on three plates and are decorated with cream, strawberry slices, blueberries and pomegranate arils. There are two amber champagne glasses, napkins and strawberries and mint leaves on the white textured background.

I’ve developed recipes for 15 years and regularly contribute to New Zealand print titles including Cuisine, Nadia Journal, Life & Leisure, Stuff and Sunday Magazine. My clients include Aoraki Salmon, Marcel’s Pancakes, Green Meadows Beef, Barker’s and Egmont Honey. I create simple yet flavourful and delicious seasonal recipes using local ingredients. Combined with food styling, photography and videography, I offer end-to-end food content creation.
