103: How Food Styling Creates Stories with Alyssa Noui of Supping Good

Whenever I watch a baking show, or a movie that has a really delicious looking food scene, I'm always blown away by the type of story that you can tell just through video and images of food. What exactly does it take to create these visions of food looking so delectable, despite there being no sense of smell associated with them? And what happens when the cameras stop rolling and the food is no longer needed? My guest this week, Alyssa Noui, is an LA based food stylist and culinary producer that is sharing her experiences to answer these questions. Alyssa grew up in a multi-cultural family near San Francisco in California, and was exposed to all sorts of dining experiences and cuisines in her youth. When she moved to Los Angeles, she worked on sets of culinary departments and found that the production in food provided the pace, organization, creativity, and camaraderie that she desired in food work. Alyssa started her own company, Supping Good, and working across live television segments, commercials, and feature films using her culinary skills to meet client expectations and stay on top of the latest trends to achieve the appetizing moments for the camera that we all love to watch. She really believes in a sense of place and story that can be communicated with a meal and a well-dressed table, and shares today how she works to create that type of magic!
