About Lyndsay

Cook, stylist + writer | @ieatmypeas


Lyndsay grew up just outside of London and now lives in Dubai with her husband and two daughters, Madeleine and Esther. She originally trained to be an architect but decided to quit her job in 2010 and follow her passion in food. She trained at Leiths School of Food + Wine in London and from there worked across the food industry as a food developer, stylist, cookery teacher and creative consultant.

She originally started ieatmypeas to catalogue what she cooked for her eldest daughter and create a personal ‘cookbook’ of tried and tested recipes that didn't take forever to make, were nutritious, practical and, most importantly, tasty for the whole family. She is passionate about continuing to expand this catalogue of recipes and tips to inspire and help anyone and everyone to cook beautifully simple, fresh and nutritious food for their families.

She also hosts workshops, writes recipes and styles for events and magazines. If you are interesting in working with her or organising a collaboration then please get in contact. For examples of her work please check out her portfolio.
