Recipe Testing

The sound of slicing mushrooms, tasting pasta, stewing shellfish in a bath of tomatoes, parsley and garlic, and serving it to a home full of friends with wine and a lively playlist makes me happy to no end. Dive into my experience below:

Saveur Magazine
Saveur means flavor in French and this award-winning publication makes international cuisine approachable to the home cook. I tested and wrote published recipes like Whole Baked Red Snapper with sausage, fennel and olives from Portugal and black seaweed salad from Hawaii.

Experience:

• Write recipes for magazine features using a user-friendly format
• Procure gourmet produce, meats, spices and unique fare
• Cook and enhance international recipes for magazine features
• Style recipes for photo shoots, based on magazine’s look and feel
• Prepare sets and cuisine for food filming
