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 far-reaching international audiences such as Cooking Light and Men's Health. I have also proofread recipes for book publishers like AdventureKeen, an imprint of Keen Publishing and Harvard Common Press, 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 can also make sure that recipes conform to a specific style guide, whether that's an in-house style guide or well-established style guide such as CMOS or APA.

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.
