RECIPE TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT

Are you writing a book? I have a fully equipped kitchen to test your recipes. I’m open to any cuisine as long as it doesn’t have coconut (I’m allergic!). Email me about your book, rates, and testing deadlines.

ADJUDICATION

After competing in amateur cooking competitions for over 10 years, I've become a judge for The James Beard Awards, Cheesemonger Invitational, The Takedowns in chili, bacon, ice cream, breakfast, and meatball categories as well as the Sofi Awards (Specialty Food Association) in savory snacks, oils, marinades, bbq sauces, cookies, and salad dressings. I'm able to follow tasting rubrics and deliberate fairly with a practiced palate. Get in touch if you need someone to help tabulate results and judge your competition.

FOOD STYLING AND KITCHEN PREP

Need someone to make your food look pretty? I styled my own cookbook and my latest work is on my portfolio. Fees include sourcing, props, transport, and clean-up. Do you need another set of hands to chop carrots? I have my own knife set, cutting boards, and aprons to jump right in. Send me your needs, budget, and timeline. If you’re a photographer and would like to trade photos for meals, I’d love to collaborate to build both of our portfolios.

CULINARY PRODUCTION & CONSULTING

Menu development, cookbook proposals, recipe proofreading, and cookbook manuscript review.
Hands-on film/tv training for actors and art departments.
I have a small inventory of prop items from glassware to plates, and serving ware available for a flat fee.
I can help you build a list of action items, research, and potential food industry partnerships you can pursue.
