“While her cooking is rooted in the practical realities of family life, Rebecca's vivid sense of food as a great pleasure also shines through. She is a true cook to her fingertips and has that special gift - which the best food writers possess - of being able to share her food knowledge in her own distinctive voice.” - Jenny Linford, food writer and author
My passion for food was really established during winter seasons as a chalet cook. After leaving the mountains and working as an event chef, I completed the Professional Cookery Diploma at Leiths with distinction and won the BBC Good Food Award, giving me a six-month placement as their cookery assistant. I then spent four years on the food team at woman&home where I was shortlisted for Young Journalist of the Year, before going to delicious. as deputy food editor. I was promoted to food editor in 2014. After having my son, I made the change to freelance working and was shortly approached by multi-award winning Slimming World magazine to be their food editor. I continue this role on a freelance basis, overseeing all the food content and photography, and writing editorial for each issue.
My experience with such prestigious magazines has given me an incredibly broad spectrum of expertise. I offer each client exactly what they need to appeal to their target audience. My recipes combine a home cook’s need for practicality, a chef’s flair for innovation and an editor’s eye for detail, simplicity and structure.
My training also means I can offer a ‘complete package’ to clients – a strong story, first-class recipes that always work, original and bold styling concepts and art direction, and beautiful food styling. I take an enormous amount of pride in my work, and constantly strive to be ahead of the curve. If you would like to discuss editorial, corporate or social media commissions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
