Recipes

“One of my passions is developing recipes. Sometimes they are for a client like Hood Milk, for which I developed recipes for Heluva Good Dips and for the cartons of the company’s holiday eggnog. I also worked in New York for Bon Appetit advertising, where I developed recipes and styled them for photo shoots. Two that come to mind are Stella Artois and Spanish Rioja wines.”

Many times, the idea for a recipe comes first, and I’ll develop an article later. I often work in my kitchen to create a recipe from ingredients I have in my refrigerator. If it turns out well, I commit it to memory and make it again to test it.
