A Borough Market Feast, 'Market Life' Magazine shoot

Recently I worked with Eco-chef Tom Hunt, the brains behind Poco restaurant (http://www.tomsfeast.com/), and incredible photographer John Holdship (http://www.johnholdship.com/), to create this beautiful alfresco lunch party right in the centre of Borough Market. This was for a photo shoot for the Borough Market magazine, 'Market Life' (www.boroughmarket.org.uk) . As well as assisting Tom in the kitchen, I was the stylist for this shoot, so I sourced all props and decorations from Topham street prop house (http://tophamstreet.com/), which I would highly recommend- the girls there are lovely! Here are some of the images from the shoot (there are so many beautiful images to choose from it was difficult to decide which to upload), but for the full article and recipes, please see the latest issue of Market Life magazine.

It was a great to meet and work with Tom, whose creativity and energy is absolutely infectious. And as always, it was brilliant to work with John, who has taught me a great deal about photography and styling since I started working with him. I am constantly in awe as to how he can always take a fabulous shot, even when we are working with next to no light and in limited conditions- he's a true genius!

A proper market barrel always makes for a good backdrop.

Food Styling the front cover of Good Things Magazine

I am pleased to be able to show you all the July/August front cover of Good Things Magazine, food styling by myself, photography by Vladimir Studenic (http://vladimphoto.com/), and Art direction by Alice Griffiths. The recipe was barbecued hoisin and cola ribs. One thing I will say is that it's quite tricky to make juicy, sticky, giant pork ribs look pretty! But it was a good challenge for me, and they tasted delicious. Just the thing after a long day in the kitchen!
