Pretoria, South Africa

I am a Consumer Science masters student at the University of Pretoria. I am passionate about teaching and hope to continue in a career in tertiary education. Writing, whether academic or otherwise, has always been a passion of mine. I have an excellent grasp of English spelling and grammar. I have plenty of experience developing and writing recipes. I developed a new range of cupcakes for a local grocery store and assisted in developing recipes for a local restaurant. I have also planned and tested menus for functions that required specialized recipes. I am accustomed to using ingredients in recipe development that are not common in everyday cooking. Because of this, I can also work around dietary restrictions and adapt recipes to suit the needs of the consumer - whether to be gluten free, vegan or otherwise.

I've been around art and design since the early 90's, my father is a journalist and during that time he had started a newspaper for which I was among the first 3 people to build the layout and this is how everything started. I followed art school but on the entertainment part, finishing University of Theatrical Arts and Cinematography as an actor in 1998 and even that made my life for some time, I was drawn back to the graphic design. I've started from the bottom with small stuff and worked my way through to advertising agencies and international work. I've worked for JW Marriott, Nike, Mitsubishi, Nokia and other local and international brands and many of them brought back joy and reconnaissance. Everything that I've done I learned it myself and self teach as best possible with Adobe Suite - Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Premiere and some Flash and Dreamweaver, CorelDraw, QuarkXPress, Font editing, 3D Max and iWorks & Office Suite. I know my way around computers and I've grew with them from my old ZX Spectrum, through 8086 and the new generation PC's to my forever love Apple. I work only on Mac now so that all that is design to be perfect and sharp.

A cooking and baking professional is a culinary freelancer who develops recipes, prepares menus, styles food, and creates content or production-ready formulations for restaurants, brands, publishers, and private clients. From recipe development to pastry consulting, these specialists bring trained kitchen craft to projects that need authentic culinary expertise.
Hiring a freelance chef or pastry expert gives you access to tested, repeatable culinary work without the overhead of a permanent kitchen hire. These freelancers translate culinary ideas into documented processes, branded recipes, and visual content that drive sales for food businesses or engagement for media projects.
The commercial value comes from precision. A trained recipe developer writes formulations with exact gram weights, baker's percentages, and yield calculations so your product is consistent across batches, locations, or print runs. A food stylist makes a dish camera-ready in minutes. A menu consultant balances food cost against margin. Each role solves a specific business problem.
Cooking and baking professionals on Freelancer.com cover a wide spectrum of culinary work. Typical deliverables include:
Experienced culinary freelancers work with both kitchen craft and digital tools. Expect proficiency with recipe management platforms such as Paprika, Plate IQ, or MarginEdge, nutritional analysis software, and standard publishing tools including Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Adobe InDesign for cookbook layout. Pastry chefs use baker's math spreadsheets and fermentation tracking. Food stylists work with photographers using natural light setups, tethered shooting via Capture One or Lightroom, and prop sourcing.
Methodologies vary by discipline. Recipe developers follow triple-testing protocols. Bakery consultants apply HACCP food safety principles. Menu engineers use contribution margin analysis. Food scientists running CPG projects apply bench-top trials, scale-up batches, and pilot plant runs.
Cooking and baking freelancers serve a broad client base:
Strong candidates show formal culinary training, restaurant or bakery experience, and a portfolio that matches your project type. Look for graduates of recognised culinary schools, time spent in professional kitchens, food safety certification (such as ServSafe or equivalent), and published recipes or product launches. For pastry work, check whether the freelancer can demonstrate laminated dough work, sugar work, or chocolate tempering depending on your needs.
Portfolio markers worth scrutinising include published cookbooks, recipe credits in food publications, commercial product launches, photography quality, and consistency of writing style across recipes. Ask for sample recipes you can test in your own kitchen.
Useful interview questions to ask candidates:
Freelancer.com hosts a global network of trained chefs, pastry specialists, recipe developers, food stylists, and culinary writers across every cuisine and dietary specialism. Whether you need a French pastry chef in Paris, a Thai recipe developer in Bangkok, or a vegan baking consultant for a CPG launch, the talent pool on Freelancer.com covers regional cuisines and technical specialisms that are difficult to source locally.
Clients post a project on Freelancer.com and receive competitive bids from freelancers who set their own rates, which means budget flexibility for projects of any size. Verified profiles, transparent ratings, and Milestone Payments protect both sides of the engagement, so you can hire on Freelancer.com with confidence whether the project is a single recipe or a multi-month menu overhaul.
Ready to bring tested recipes, menu ideas, or food content to life?
Hiring a culinary freelancer works best when your brief gives candidates enough context to bid accurately. The steps below walk through how to post a clear project, evaluate proposals, and award the work to the right chef, baker, or recipe developer for your goals.
The brief is the single biggest determinant of bid quality. A clear scope filters for candidates whose culinary specialism genuinely matches your needs, whether that is sourdough bread formulation, vegan dessert development, or restaurant menu engineering. Head to the
Bids are short proposals revealing how the freelancer interprets your brief and what their proposed approach is. Read each one carefully and shortlist candidates whose understanding of culinary craft, testing rigour, and audience matches what you need. Strong proposals from cooking and baking professionals reference relevant techniques, propose a realistic testing schedule, and ask sharp clarifying questions.
Final selection combines proposal quality with profile evidence. Look for consistency of culinary work across multiple projects rather than one stand-out recipe. For pastry, bakery, and product development work, depth of technical experience matters more than volume of past projects.
A single tested recipe usually takes one to two weeks including multiple test rounds, ingredient sourcing, and final write-up. Larger projects such as a 50-recipe cookbook or a full restaurant menu typically run two to six months depending on testing depth, photography needs, and revision cycles.
A recipe developer creates and tests the recipe itself, focusing on flavour, technique, and reproducibility. A food stylist prepares the finished dish for camera, focusing on visual appearance, plating, and on-set adjustments during photography. Many freelancers offer both services, but specialised projects often benefit from hiring each separately.
Yes. Many clients hire for single deliverables such as one recipe, one menu refresh, or one cookbook chapter. Freelancer.com supports both fixed-price one-off engagements and ongoing retainer relationships if you later need consistent recipe output.
Not until you are ready. Most reputable culinary freelancers will sign a non-disclosure agreement before reviewing confidential formulations or product concepts. You can request an NDA through the chat before sharing any proprietary information.
Specialists with food science backgrounds can produce nutritional panels, allergen statements, and ingredient declarations aligned with FDA, EU, FSANZ, or other regional regulations. For full regulatory submissions, look for freelancers who explicitly list compliance experience for your target market.
