Alyssa LeAnne Owens

Alyssa LeAnne's motto is, "The fastest way to the heart is through the stomach" and she has fallen in love with cities and people after tasting their food. After over seven years working in New York, Toronto, and London in lifestyle PR, she landed in her true passion for food and beverage as a Food Writer and Food & Drink Stylist where she makes food and drinks look gorgeous for the camera and informative to consumers. Alyssa has worked on styling projects for Kraft-Heinz, M&S, Nando’s, Beyond Meat, Tesco, Tastemade, Tom Hixson of Smithfield's butchers, Itsu, Catoctin Creek Whisky and many more.

Alyssa loves to develop and test recipes for brands, and her recipes have been published online and in print magazines. The best appliances and kitchen tools contribute to the success of her recipes and she is always on the hunt for the best products to work with in the kitchen. Alyssa also reviews and tests home kitchen appliances for Future publications and writes restaurant reviews in London. 

Alyssa is a Food Styling graduate from the Leiths School of Food and Wine and she has completed the Knife Skills course at London Cookery School. 

When dining out, Alyssa loves a restaurant tasting menu with a wine pairing and is always up for creating one on her own by sharing bites and sips with whoever she is dining out with. While at home, she is an avid dinner party host, and loves serving dishes using seasonal ingredients from the recipes she shares in her #SeasonalSaturdaysSeries on Instagram and she enjoys everything extra spicy!
