alice is a qualified nutritionist (MSc), chef and personal trainer with decades of experience as a food editor, food writer and food stylist. she has a rare and impressive knowledge of food, cookery and nutrition.

Following a physiology and neuroscience degree at Bristol University, Alice, already an extremely keen cook, took a chef’s diploma at Leith’s School of Food and Wine, graduating in 2004. Alice continued to gain a wealth of professional cooking experience, from event catering to private chef work, running pop up restaurants, recipe and product development… through to teaching cookery classes and demonstrations. This solid foundation has evolved throughout her career and Alice keeps a famously-cool head in the kitchen as a consequence, translating those professional skills and techniques for the home cook.

Publishing was the sector where Alice could make full use of her skills as a writer, in combination with her extensive food knowledge. Over the next decade or so in London, she would flourish as a food editor (most notably at Waitrose Food Illustrated Magazine), a talented food stylist and a cookery book author, with a particular interest in making vibrant, vegetarian and vegan recipes accessible to everyone, whatever their dietary habits or preferences.

Alice is a seasoned endurance sports competitor and has completed many marathons and long-distance cycling events, along with an Ironman. Long-distance triathlons require gruelling stints of training and consequently, there’s a heavy emphasis on the ‘fourth discipline’: food as fuel. A surprising proportion of the sports - and general - nutrition information promoted in the public sphere appeared to be confused or biased, rather than truly evidence-led or correctly interpreted. Alice’s own experiences consolidated long-held thoughts about just how perplexing this could be for anyone trying to eat simply, well and practically, in a way that still supports active goals and effective recovery. Alice’s qualifications as a level 3 personal trainer and a nutritionist (with a master’s degree (MSc) in Applied Sports Nutrition) qualify her to consult, coach and advise in the exciting fields of general and performance nutrition, alongside her continued work as a food writer.
