Jessica Carter

Freelance Food Editor

Jessica is a journalist and editor who works across print magazines and digital media. Specialising in food, she cut her teeth writing restaurant guides and reviews, before moving on to edit a food and drink magazine. It was her work there which saw her shortlisted for the Best Food Editor award by the British Society of Magazine Editors two years running. These days she works freelance, writing features and shopping guides as well as commissioning and editing content. She works with brands ranging from WIRED and BBC Food to The Independent, Ideal Home and Stylist.


Her spare time is spent cooking for more people than can feasibly fit around her dining table, trying to find new places to house her out-of-control cookbook collection and walking her dopey-eyed basset hound, Prudence (the only one who can give her a run for her money when it comes to greediness).
