The Freelance Foodie
Hello
My name is Rachel Auty
​
Serving up delicious ideas is what I do best!
Passion and Enthusiasm
​
These are the words my clients and colleagues use to describe me.
​
I have over 18 years of product development experience working in the food industry, across multiple different sectors, including retail, food service and manufacturing, working for, and with, business small and large.
​
It is this varied portfolio of experience, combined with an insatiable passion for food that I bring to work every single day.
