I am a marketing professional with a passion for food. I've spent over ten years working in the food and agricultural industry; managing research projects, helping companies with business development including new product development, branding and communications. I've also done a lot of work understanding the importance of "local" and the crisis of food waste. In my personal life, I like to cook and once upon a time sold baking professionally. I have four wonderful children whom I like to feed healthy foods and the occasional treat. Thankfully we don't have any special dietary concerns but we are committed to starting the day with fresh juice. Between working and the kids, I do get distracted. Although I am committed to reducing food waste, I must admit that on occasion I burn food, particularly toast. If I were more traditional and had changed my name, it would be Nicole Burns. And so the name NicoleBurnsFood.com hopefully makes sense to you too.
