About Aimee Gerber:

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic creator with a deep passion for culinary arts and a strong commitment to lifelong learning. With 16 years of experience as a professional chef, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every job I undertake.

My expertise extends to various aspects of the culinary world, allowing me to offer a wide range of services tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether it's recipe writing for books, collaborating with restaurants to develop their signature menus, or working one-on-one with individuals seeking transformative lifestyle changes, I approach each opportunity with diligence and a mindset focused on achieving goals.

My academic background in Culinary Arts and Clinical Nutrition provides a solid foundation for my work. This knowledge has been further honed through practical experience gained from working in diverse culinary environments such as restaurants, hotels, and other food-related establishments.

Some of my key strengths lie in the following:
Recipe development - With my extensive culinary repertoire and creativity, I can craft unique and delicious recipes that cater to various tastes and dietary requirements.

Menu development - Whether you're a restaurant owner looking to revamp your offerings or an individual planning a special event, I can help create menus that impress and satisfy. I carefully consider flavour profiles, ingredient availability, and seasonal considerations to craft well-balanced and enticing menus.

Food styling and photography - I have extensive experience in presenting dishes in an aesthetically pleasing manner, capturing their essence through captivating visuals. 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. By combining my culinary expertise with my nutrition knowledge, I can help individuals make informed choices and adopt healthier lifestyles.

I am well-equipped to handle a diverse range of culinary projects. I approach each endeavour with diligence, passion, and a commitment to achieving outstanding results.
