Then there’s the recipe testing!
Have you ever thought about what goes into getting your favourite cook book on the shelves or one of those free recipe cards in your local supermarket ready for you to take home and try ?
Apart from the idea, the hard work, the pictures and the writing, time is spent trying out the recipes for each dish again and again to ensure they work every time in your home kitchen.
When a new cook book is in the developmental stage of the process i’m one of those people who tests the recipes in my kitchen so that they work in yours.
Check out just some of the great companies i’ve worked with!
Something about me!
A Croatian father and Geordie mother (mongrel or bred to perfection?) i do think that you can do anything if you’re brave enough.
I am a believer in a person having many work lives during a lifespan and i’m a real example of this.
An ex-counsellor, lecturer, mother, wife and extreme cake designer, i’ve lived in Belgium and America with myriad successful businesses under my belt (most of them food related).
