I’m Sylvie Shirazi, the recipe developer and food photographer behind Gourmande in the Kitchen. I create recipe-driven content and photography that helps brands connect with home cooks through simple, real-life food.
My work focuses on gluten-free, vegetarian, and seasonal cooking, with an emphasis on approachable recipes and natural, ingredient-led styling.
