This GIVEAWAY is now CLOSED!

Thank you for taking part!

I have something a little different and exciting to share today!

Want to win a spot on my Foundation Food Photography and Food Styling Online Course worth £397, get an incredible cookbook, find the recipe to this protein packed vegan carrot and lentil soup AND help a great charity all at the same time? Then, listen up!


In honour of World Suicide Prevention Day, I have teamed up with the charity, Beder UK who work tirelessly to raise awareness around mental health and suicide prevention.

I had the total honour of photographing their second cookbook, Eat With Beder last year; not only is the cookbook filled with over 70 delicious, unique and easy-to-follow recipes, but it’s also a major fundraiser for the Beder UK charity, which takes its name after Beder, a young and much loved teenager who tragically took his own life in 2019, leaving a huge void in the lives of those who knew and adored him.

As a mama to a pre-teen boy, Beder’s story touched my heart deeply and I’m hence honoured to bring this unique giveaway to you, to hopefully make a difference.

So, why do I share all this, how is it connected to the giveaway I mention and how on earth can you enter the worldwide giveaway for my Foundation food photography and food styling online course in the first place?!? Here are the details on how everything is connected and how you can enter this giveaway!

For those of you who’d like a taster before purchasing, here is a delicious soup recipe from Eat with Beder cookbook, which is a personal favourite of mine. The touch of miso and sun dried tomatoes in the soup give it a super umami flavour! It’s the perfect soup for the cooler weather coming our way this autumn and full of plant-based protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer!
