Jeffrey A.

Recipe Writer & Food Photographer | Nutrition Specialist | VA

I’m a versatile recipe writer, food photographer, virtual assistant, SEO helper, and real estate BPO specialist with strong skills in nutrition analysis, meal planning, content creation, admin support, and research. I support clients with culinary projects, menu development, product photography, online tasks, SEO-friendly content, and Broker Price Opinion processing. My experience across the food industry, health and wellness, real estate, and digital operations allows me to handle diverse tasks with accuracy and reliability. I am trained and mentored by a Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee, which has shaped my approach to flavor, technique, food science, and kitchen professionalism. This foundation, combined with my culinary education and hands-on restaurant leadership experience, allows me to create recipes that are not only delicious but also nutritionally accurate. I can convert any regular diet into a therapeutic one and specialize in vegetarian, gluten-free, low-fat, low-sodium, DASH, Mediterranean, and athlete-focused meal plans. I also calculate precise macro and micronutrients using both manual methods and professional nutrition tools. As a recipe writer and food photographer, I develop easy-to-follow, client-ready recipes and capture images that are clean, vibrant, and marketing-friendly. I have experience supporting restaurants, meal-prep businesses, packaged food brands, and health-focused entrepreneurs. I am also trained by a leading chef-nutritionist in the Philippines whose clients include high-profile personalities. Beyond food, I am an exceptional virtual assistant with extensive experience in real estate operations, SEO tasks, admin support, and research. Prior to becoming a chef, I worked for several years completing Broker Price Opinion (BPO) orders for platforms such as RRReview, Proteck, Valuation Partners, and other major vendors. I am familiar with the residential markets in NY, WA, DC, MD, FL, and GA, including both single-family and multi-unit properties. My background in SEO and digital organization also helps clients improve visibility, streamline workflows, and maintain efficient day-to-day operations. I currently serve as Sous Chef for a food concept by Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, the chef-owner of Le Du, ranked Asia’s Best Restaurant in 2023. At Samyan, I help lead a team that produces refined Thai street-style cuisine. Even with a demanding kitchen role, I manage my time well and deliver freelance projects ahead of schedule. Clients hire me because I am reliable, organized, detail-oriented, and committed to exceeding expectations. I always submit work on or before the deadline, and I put my full effort into every task—big or small. If you need someone who can develop recipes, analyze nutritional content, create culinary content, support your real estate operations, handle SEO-friendly tasks, or manage admin and research work, I’m here to help. Looking forward to collaborating on your next project.
