Recipe Testing & Food Styling in Scotland
From handwritten recipes to high-profile shoots, Sue Davie has spent a lifetime working with food — shaping it, testing it, styling it, and sharing it.
Based in Edinburgh and working across Scotland, Sue partners with brands, publishers, and producers to bring their culinary visions to life. Whether you need a tested recipe that works first time or a dish styled just right for the camera, she brings calm hands, a creative eye, and decades of real-world experience to every project.
About Sue: A Life in Food
Over 30 Years of Experience Bringing Ideas to the Table
For Sue, working with food isn’t just a job — it’s a way of showing care, creativity, and connection. After training as a home economist and Cordon Bleu cook, she began her career in private kitchens across Scotland, cooking for weddings, weekend shoots, and even royalty.
She later moved into television with BBC Scotland’s The Food Programme, and has since written, styled, and tested for leading brands and publishers. But no matter the project size, Sue brings the same thoughtful attention to every dish she touches.
She’s not just preparing food — she’s helping it shine.
