About Genevieve

Genevieve Knights (nee McGough) has enjoyed over 20 years experience in the food industry as a chef, food writer, food stylist, recipe developer, television presenter and food photographer.

After working as top chef in Auckland restaurants for many years, she decided on a change of direction and began developing, writing and photographing recipes.

Her writing style is largely influenced by the solid technical background of classical training combined with the experience of working for some of Auckland's most innovative chefs.

The first of a series of baking cookbooks is now available. Titled scones, it includes 50 original recipes on the traditional favourite, along with tips and tricks, a history section and conversion chart. The second book, pavlova will be available from November 2010.

With her husband, Genevieve also provides high quality gourmet hampers called Champers Hampers.
