Whether you need mouth-watering images for your cookbook or promotional materials for your restaurant, I can provide high-quality food styling, photography, and editing services.
Food costing - By analysing ingredient prices, portion sizes, and other factors, I can help you optimise your food costs while maintaining quality and profitability.
Clinical nutrition - I offer personalised nutritional consulting services. I can create customised meal plans and provide guidance on achieving specific health goals.
