Mollie Hayward

I entered food styling as a professional cook.  My cooking experience informs my sense of food as a visual art - I want everything to be delicious, even if only to the eye. My cooking experience also, of course, informs my recipe development. I strive to create recipes that are thoughtful, creative, and accessible. I am based in Chicago and happy to travel.
