I will try to give you the abridged version, but I promise nothing! For over two decades I’ve worked with food in publishing, television & online as a TV host, a recipe creator, food stylist, food editor, cookbook author, food photographer & a nutritionist.
During this time, I’ve worked on hundreds of cookbooks, co-written 80 cookbooks (give or take), authored six & have self-published one titled ‘Simple, Fresh, Delicious’ which became a national Canadian food show with yours truly as the host. Four seasons & 52 episodes – filmed in my studio & on location throughout Canada.
Born & raised in Sydney, Australia, I studied culinary arts before starting my career in publishing & TV in my hometown. Then moving to Canada where I worked as food editor for a major publishing company for their food magazine & cookbook division. When several years later I moved to the USA & was hired by a fortune 300 company as their food stylist & recipe creator along with a laundry list of interesting tasks my position entailed.
A gypsy at heart I love to travel, meet people & learn about their food & culture. I live in the country on the outskirts if a tiny town in Indiana – the heart of the US. In the last few years I’ve taken to gardening – herbs & vegetables. There’s something smugly satisfying cooking & eating the food you’ve grown. I have a business (still) working with food in the media. My goal is to inspire people to cook for themselves more often & to enjoy cooking. And now as a certified nutritionist, I want to help people be well & squeeze more juice out of life. I’d love to connect so please look me up on social media. Thanks for being here. L xo
