Cassie Best
Cassie is Head of Food at Good Food. A pasta-loving, cake-baking food obsessive, she joined the brand in 2011 and has since written well over a thousand recipes for Good Food, including many of the recipes featured on the cover of the magazine. Cassie’s love of food started in her mum’s kitchen, before a stint as an air hostess gave her the opportunity to travel the world and discover new food and flavours. She went on to train as a chef at Leiths School of Food and Wine and dabbled in restaurant kitchens and private catering before landing her dream job at Good Food. She loves creating easy, achievable family meals, spotting emerging food trends, finding new ways to cook with seasonal ingredients and developing delicious bakes and cakes. Her favourite meal is brunch – a spicy shakshuka followed by a stack of custardy French toast with a hot matcha latte would be her desert island meal of choice. At home, she loves testing her latest creations on her family, with her two young children providing her with the most honest feedback! Cassie is passionate about raising awareness of food allergies, championing better food in schools and helping people make the most of their ingredients to reduce food waste.
