About 

Photo by Nina Oliinyk at Narroway Studio

I’m Lu, a food stylist, recipe developer and tester; Bristol-born, now living in London.

My career started worlds away from food. For 4 years after studying International Development at Sussex Uni, I worked in press and comms for humanitarian organisations.

Having always been passionate about cooking, travelling, and learning about different cultures (and how food is integral within them), it was a revelation when I stumbled across food styling.

One introductory food styling course and many conversations with stylists later, I decided to quit my full-time job to pursue a career in the food world.
