"It's authentic": Alice Taylor on her quickfire rise and the importance of accessible cooking

Alice Taylor has changed the way thousands of Kiwis think about cooking at home. 

You may know her for her time as a contestant on Masterchef or from her social media presence at Alice Taylor Eats.

She favours no-frills recipes and honest conversations around food accessibility and it’s seen her following skyrocket to half a million across her profiles.

“We want to help people save money cooking at home, give them tips and tricks, and ultimately also just make them feel proud about what they’re putting on the table,” she said. 

“I think a lot of social media is a bit unrealistic, so we also want to be a platform where people can y’know, watch, have a bit of fun, cook some good food, and feel good about themselves.”
