Broadcasting and Media

Food broadcasters, including podcasters, food stylists and TV or radio researchers, create compelling media content around food culture. They entertain, inform, and educate audiences, influencing public perceptions and discussions about food trends and industry developments.

“No two days are the same. I’m constantly working with different clients, being pushed to try new things and learn new techniques.”

Careers in Broadcasting and Media

Food Programme Radio Presenter / Podcaster / Broadcaster

A Food Programme Radio Presenter, Podcaster, or Broadcaster explores food culture, trends, and industry issues through engaging discussions and interviews. They research topics, host conversations, and connect with chefs, producers, and experts.

Food stylist

A food stylist’s job is to help create mouthwatering images that make a dish look irresistible. Having a professional cooking qualification is essential, as you need to know how to cook everything from pastry to a joint of meat and have the technical knowledge to problem solve if things go wrong.

Food Photographer

A Food Photographer captures high-quality images of food for restaurants, brands, cookbooks, social media, and marketing materials. They style dishes, set up lighting, and use photography techniques to make food look appealing. They may work with chefs, food stylists, and content creators to produce eye-catching visuals that enhance food presentation.

Home Economist

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes on your favourite cookery shows like GBBO, MasterChef, Saturday Kitchen or Great British Menu? The home economist is the cook behind the camera, prepping food, consulting with guest chefs and ensuring everything is organised and ready for them to cook on the show.
