Melanie is just fantastic and very incredibly easy to work with. Really dives into the detail and provides options and back up to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. The quality of her food styling is outstanding both visually and technically and I would highly recommend her.
Most of the recipe work Melanie has done for us has been with specialty nutrition needs in mind, like recipes for school canteens or recipes that meet specific nutrition criteria. Being a foodie at heart her recipes are always nourishing, but she never compromises on flavour! I admire Melanie’s energy for learning and teaching, both she and her food have evolved over the years as trends change and she continues to be inspired.
Melanie was fundamental in our success in getting new sugar replacement products ranged in retailers. She is very professional, proactive in providing feedback for improvement of recipes and offering creative ways to deliver products to customers, and a pleasure to work with. Melanie is my person to go to for taste testings of new recipes and ingredients in Victoria.
Melanie is a positive and passionate foodie and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her flair for flavour and a true understanding of the home cook makes her recipes not only achievable and tasty, but so clever. A slight twist in the method to make it quicker or tastier, or the addition of an ordinary ingredient you would never have thought of, make the recipes she's developed the ones that I come back to, time and time again.
Melanie is a wonderful and engaging cooking demonstrator, who can liven and inspire a crowd of any age. Her warm, kind personality mixed with incredible food knowledge and cooking skills makes for a fabulous presenter! Melanie is great to work with, has a positive professional attitude and respects brand integrity, which is so important for our cooking programs, Jamie’s Ministry of Food and Jamie Oliver’s Learn Your Fruit and Veg.
I highly recommend Melanie, 5 stars!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Melanie on multiple, strategically important and successful marketing campaigns over the years. She is results driven and always demonstrates enduring tenacity to ensure successful outcomes. Mel is someone you can count on to deliver results!
