"It is a pleasure to work with Rochelle! We highly recommend her as a recipe developer and food stylist and photographer. She's definitely a professional and a perfectionist in what she does. Rochelle has created lovely recipes using our brand's products and took great photographs to accompany these. We are lucky to have found her!" RECIPE DEVELOPMENT & FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY I finetune half-baked recipes or develop them from scratch. Services include: 🍴Ingredient shopping/Product/Recipe research 🍴Recipe development to produce a final recipe 🍴Clearly written recipes with ingredient listing, estimated prep time, directions/instructions, estimated calories, short description of recipe 🍴3-5 x photos per recipe (includes food styling and props, photo editing, and option to include client’s featured product in photos RECIPE EDITING & PROOFREADING Not only do I develop recipes, but I also proofread and correct them for clients. Because my work is focused on the food industry, I work my way through a LOT of recipe books each week! I’ve assisted food industry clients from around the world with food articles, recipe writing, and proofreading. My Food Science degree helps me to understand the science of baking and cooking, whereas copywriting helps me to make recipes clearer and more understandable. Recipe formats and ingredients vary from one country to the next. I know which ingredients, measurements, and substitutions to use, based on the target market I’m writing for. This prevents your readers from becoming frustrated with ingredient confusion, which means fewer flops in the kitchen! KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD TRENDS AND THE INDUSTRY I am a qualified food scientist. I've also worked in the food and beverage industry and I am always on top of the latest food trends and recipes. NO PLAGIARISM I have experience in the field of academic research, where plagiarism is a big no-no. Be assured that all my writing will pass a Copyscape check. PRESENTABLE WORK With my graphic design skills, you will have an end product that reads well and looks good!

I'm a professional freelance editor, proofreader, and writer with over 9 years of experience on Upwork and 2 on Elance/ODesk before that. I am a native English speaker with an excellent grasp of the language. Areas of Specialization: - Medical: I have been a qualified professional nurse (general, community health, and psychiatric) and midwife for over 30 years, so I am familiar with medical terminology and ethos. - Academic: One of my main areas of work – I've edited many academic theses/dissertations for PhD students and have edited academic articles and studies for journal publication. In particular, in the fields of medicine, tech, business, science, and law. - Nutrition: I’m particularly interested in how nutrition affects health and during my career, I have counseled many patients on pregnancy nutrition and diabetes/obesity control. I am acquainted with the weight-loss industry since I worked for Weigh-Less Health and Slimming Clubs for a time as a group leader. - Teaching: I have 14 years of teaching experience up to the senior high school level as I homeschooled my 4 children. - Religion: I have a particular interest in Christian literature and have worked with several Christian publishers as well as many individuals on their books. I have been a Christian and a Bible scholar for over 30 years, so I am knowledgeable about Biblical terminology and concepts. I am also open to editing books on other religions and have enjoyed working with clients of various faiths over the years. - Cooking and recipe creation: I owned and managed a successful catering business for many years and cooked for pleasure and profit. I possess a working knowledge of the food industry. I've edited, proofread, formatted, and ghostwritten several cookbooks for clients. - Children’s books: Having had 4 children of my own and giving them all a classical education, I am extremely knowledgeable about children’s literature. I have ghostwritten a couple of children’s books and have edited many. - AI humanization: In the last year or so, I have branched into editing that involves “humanizing” or “normalizing” books and content written by AI. Overall, I have worked on several types of business, medical, and tech documents. Also, full-length books - both fiction and non-fiction including biographies, science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, children's stories, and recipe books. I have also edited/formatted website content and school curriculum content. I can provide work samples. Particular Strengths: - Excellent communication: I keep clients well-informed of the progress of their projects. - Fast but accurate: I have never missed a deadline. - Reasonable rates: I live in South Africa so the exchange rate is favorable for clients in Europe, Australia, the US, etc.
