CORDON BLEU CHEF · FORMER SENIOR FOOD EDITOR, COOKING LIGHT
Welcome to
Content Kitchen
Food Creative
Recipe development that puts your product on the dinner table.
Food photography that makes it look easy to get there.
All handled by one studio.
SERVICES
Most clients work with me on both recipe development and photography, but each service is available separately. No brief required. I’ll research your product and come back with recipe and shot concepts for you to approve.
Recipes that take your product from shelf to table, developed for real home cooks, tailored to your audience’s tastes and skills.
From product shots to lifestyle images and editorial spreads, I craft visuals that make your audience stop scrolling and hungry for your offerings.
ABOUT
Hi, I’m Alison Ashton, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and former senior food editor at Cooking Light. Most food photographers can shoot food. Most recipe developers can write a recipe. I do both, which means the content you get works in a kitchen and looks great on a shelf, a website, a social media feed, and a retail deck.
Trusted by La Tortilla Factory, Hatch Chile Co., 505 Southwestern, and more.

One of the (many) things I love about Alison she shapes authentic, engaging content relevant to the NOURISH brand and is an invaluable partner in my business.
Lia Huber, founder and CEO, NOURISH Evolution
I always admire Alison’s recipe prowess. In combination with her photography acumen, it’s unnecessary to hire a food stylist, which I think says a lot. The extra attention and motivation to get things right shows time and again.
Chase Robinson, Insignia International (505 Southwestern)
Alison’s a joy to work with. She’s knowledgeable, creative, organized, deadline- and budget-savvy and incredibly solutions-oriented.
