Thanks for checking out a few snapshots of my recipe developments. I am an accomplished professional with over two decades in the food industry in a variety of roles including pastry chef, chef instructor, executive chef and director of operations in restaurants, resorts, catering, retail operations and food production companies. 

I embarked on a new journey as a Recipe Developer & Tester for print and digital brands such as EatingWell, Food & Wine, Allrecipes, Better Homes & Gardens, Serious Eats, Southern Living. I fell in love with creating content, the process of recipe development and food photography.

Working now as a Freelance Recipe Developer and Tester, food photography with the skill to do step by step photography, beauty shots and food styling support for bloggers, digital and print brands, equipment brands, cookbooks and restaurants:
