International Food Stylist specializing in food styling, recipe and product development and food writing, Emma’s skills range from developing and writing delectable, enticing recipes and features to producing artfully styled food and drinks for photography and film.
After obtaining a Diploma in Food & Beverage Management and later a Degree in Consumer Sciences and Nutrition, Emma spent the early part of her career in the Catering field, responsible for menu planning and staff training. Whilst working as Food & Beverage Lecturer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, she attended a part-time photography course, with the aim of taking photos of the student’s practical exams plates. This sparked a new interest in food styling.
