Work with me

Recipes a chef will stand behind.

I develop and write recipes for food producers, suppliers and trade publications. Every one is cooked and tested in my own kitchen before it reaches you, written for the person who'll actually be cooking it, and credited to a working head chef.

What I do

Recipe development

Recipes developed from scratch around your product or brief — tested properly, written to publication standard, and photographed.

Product-led recipes

Content that helps customers use what you sell — particularly the cuts, ingredients and seasonal lines people buy once and don't know what to do with.

Trade writing

Features and comment for hospitality and food trade publications, written from the pass rather than from a spreadsheet.

Selected work
Get in touch

Every recipe comes with chef attribution if it's useful to you, and I also produce short-form video — I run a cooking channel of my own at youtube.com/@PlatefulChef.

Tell me what you're working on and I'll come back to you.
