RECIPE WRITING & DEVELOPMENT

 

Recipes serve as a written document that can capture history, create joy, save fond memories, and spread love for so many

Over the years I have heard friends and family say “I can’t cook”. I like to encourage them by pointing back to what I call the basic recipe concept.

Basic recipe concept - When we do cook we want to create a consistent, quality dish or beverage/cocktail, over and over again. A well written recipe is the code you need to accomplish this. A high quality, written recipe will give you good results time and time again. That is what I do. I am a high quality recipe developer and food writer. I have developed over 1500 recipes for 7 different cookbooks. I am also a freelance recipe writer for resturants, magazines, newspapers, bloggers, family and friends.

If you are looking for assistance in developing a special recipe(s), fine tuning a heirloom recipe, or want to develop your own signature recipe, I am happy to help.

Reasons you would hire me to create a recipe:

  • Signature Cocktails for a Wedding, Shower, Birthday

  • Recreate/Preserve an Heirloom Recipe

  • Event Themed Recipe

  • Recipe Review of your Work

  • Memorial Recipe

  • Special Event Takeaway Gifts

  • Party Favors

Let me share my knowledge on the various components of a recipes; ingredients, quantities and units of measurement, specific directions and the yield. I offer an unassuming ability to communicate every step of a recipe to create the perfect dish or cocktail. Together we will create a memorable headnote and style for your recipe.
