Why Hire A Recipe Editor?
Have you ever ordered a meal kit and realized halfway through the recipe that you have an ingredient and no idea what to do with it because it isn't mentioned anywhere in the instructions? A recipe editor can help your business by catching errors and discrepancies in your content.
I have edited recipes for brands with millions of readers (Cooking Light and Men's Health, among others). I have also worked on cookbooks for traditional publishers like DK Publishing (Penguin Random House), AdventureKeen (an imprint of Keen Publishing), Harvard Common Press (an imprint of The Quarto Group), and Rock Point (an imprint of The Quarto Group).
As an experienced recipe editor, I correct recipes using Word, Google Docs, or .pdfs. I check each recipe to ensure that every ingredient used in the recipe is listed in the ingredients list and vice versa. Likewise, I check for typos, consistency, and tone. I can shorten a recipe or change the instructions so that they are easier to follow. I can verify that cook times and photos are accurate. I also ensure that recipes conform to style guides and sheets.

A Few Reasons To Work With Me
Whether I'm working with chefs, influencers, or experienced recipe developers, I strive to make sure recipes are accurate, complete, easy-to-follow and resonate with everyday cooks.
I'm passionate about all things cooking and have extensive knowledge of effective recipe construction, cuisines, dishes, ingredients, and cooking techniques, which I acquired from years of working at Cooking Light magazine, Men's Health magazine, and on cookbooks like The Solo Stove Fire Pit Cookbook and Glorious Table by Gloria Jang.

Examples Of Things Recipes Editors Catch And Correct
Some Things A Recipe Editor Can Help With:
