Editorial and Media Credentials

As Food Editor at Good Housekeeping UK, Suzannah was responsible for turning over 40+ pages per issue — developing, writing and food-styling approximately 40 original recipes per month, and art-directing shoots from concept to final layout.

She trained at Leiths School of Food & Wine (London) and has interviewed some of the UK’s most respected culinary voices, including Jamie Oliver, Yotam Ottolenghi and Mary Berry.

Her work has also included in-house recipe advertorials for Hearst clients, written to editorial standards and integrated seamlessly alongside magazine features.

She has worked on the home economics teams for Saturday Kitchen, Sunday Brunch and Something for the Weekend, supporting on-screen food production.

On Screen / Guest Expert Potential

Suzannah brings a confident, conversational on-screen presence shaped by years of working in editorial, television food production and live performance. Her approach combines practical food knowledge with humour, storytelling and cultural context.

Based between the UK and Los Angeles, she offers a distinctive transatlantic angle — from American seasonal food trends to Hollywood hosting culture — alongside a warm, self-aware delivery well suited to daytime television, lifestyle formats and panel-led food segments.

She is particularly well placed for guest appearances that blend cooking with personality-led conversation, including seasonal recipes, cultural moments (awards season, holidays) and food as storytelling.

Selected Commercial Work

Suzannah brings a strong understanding of commercial storytelling to her work, informed by her early career in advertising at M&C Saatchi, where she produced campaigns for high-profile clients and developed a sharp sense of tone, audience and narrative clarity.

Alongside her editorial background, she has been cast as on-screen talent and commissioned to create food-led commercial content that blends character, warmth and humour while maintaining editorial integrity. Selected work includes a narrative-led lifestyle advert for Ruggable, in which she was booked as performance talent.

Suzannah has also written editorial-standard recipe advertorials for Hearst magazine clients, integrating brand messaging seamlessly into trusted food content without compromising voice or reader confidence.
