Can you introduce yourself and how your background in food brought you to where you are today?


I am Georgie – a recipe developer, food stylist, and content creator. I always knew I wanted to work in the food industry, but it wasn’t until I was at university that I realised how many opportunities there were beyond restaurants. While there, I spent much of my time cooking for friends and browsing recipe websites like delicious., Olive, and BBC Good Food for inspiration. That’s when I realised that writing recipes and styling food could actually be a job – and I was determined to make it happen. I emailed all those publications asking for work experience, which eventually led me to enrol in a year-long diploma at Leiths School of Food and Wine. After that, I landed a role at Good Housekeeping as a recipe developer and food stylist. I spent five brilliant years there before taking the leap into freelance life – and I haven’t looked back since.

What inspires you most about the summer months?


Everything feels a bit more relaxed in summer – the longer days, warm evenings, and the abundance of beautiful produce. Tomatoes bursting with flavour, sharp lemons and fresh herbs. And nothing beats cooking outside, whether it’s over a barbecue, a beach fire or prepping on the garden table.

We heard you love to spend your summers on your family boat. What do you love to cook onboard?


Cooking on the boat is all about keeping things simple and seasonal. One of my go-to dishes is crab and samphire linguine – we forage the samphire ourselves a short walk along the beach from the boat, which makes it feel even more special. Clams with garlic and chilli are another favourite, especially as the local shoreline is brilliant for cockle collecting. And you can’t beat a fish taco – usually prawns or cod, with a punchy tomato and mango salsa and some homemade guac. Razor fish/clams are common around here too, but they remind me of childhood beach games – so I tend to leave those to the memories!

Do you agree that cooking is a labour of love?


Definitely – although I wouldn’t call it labour in the hard sense. Cooking brings me a huge amount of joy. I love making unfussy, flavour-packed meals using great ingredients – things that are quick, satisfying, and practical for everyday life. I’m also a big fan of minimal washing up – especially when water’s limited, like it often is on the boat!

What’s your favourite Falcon product and why?


The mixing bowls and roasting trays are firm favourites. They stack beautifully, which is ideal for small spaces, and the clean-up is almost too easy – food just lifts right off.

They are proper kitchen staples, especially handy when you’re cooking in compact kitchens like a boat galley. I also love the jugs and tumblers, I often use my jug as a vase to display flowers and the tumblers are perfect for drinks on the beach where you don’t want to risk smashing glass!

Do you have anything exciting coming up that you’d like to share?


There’s lots of lovely stuff in the works – from recipe development and food styling projects to some exciting summer collaborations. I’m also working on a recipe series focused on cooking aboard the boat, so keep an eye on my Instagram for plenty of seasonal dishes and salty air inspiration!
