#PortfolioDay I do freelance recipe development and food photography, and previously worked as a pastry chef after culinary school.

I do everything from developing recipes from scratch for print magazines, to testing, styling and photographing family recipes for a personalized cookbook, to writing recipes for retail food and beverage companies.

I would love to get into more niche, creative work if anyone on fedi has a bespoke need for any sort of food-adjacent work. Games, cozy mysteries, food justice, fandom, kitchen witchery, zines, gardening, tea, and probably anything else you can think of. I know a little bit about a lot and love to learn new things.

I am currently available for small, one-off projects, and will be available for a larger project within the coming months.

A dramatic poached pear on a black plate, covered in deep red sauce and surrounded by pomegranate seeds, a cut pomegranate, and dark dahlias.On a dark, moody background, it is meant to invoke underworld feast vibes.

A small bowl of cinnamon butter topped with a cinnamon stick, next to two loaves of soft, pumpkin-shaped white bread on a dark grey background.

Three scoops of peach gelato nested in a bowl of pecan granola, on a warm brown background with a copper spoon and a tiny leaf-shaped bottle of maple syrup.
