FOOD STYLIST

MAREN ELLINGBOE KING

 
I’m a food stylist, recipe tester and developer, and author based in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

I spent years working in both the front and back of the house in restaurants in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York City before becoming an editor at Food & Wine in 2011. After working on food styling, recipe development and culinary events in the SF Bay Area from 2015-2020, I moved back home to Minnesota and am now a full-time food stlylist, recipe developer and editor. My first cookbook, Fresh Midwest, is a love letter to midwestern cuisine and was released in September 2022.

"Maren is the gold standard when it comes to food stylists. She is lightening quick on her feet and is phenomenal at anticipating creative direction before you have a chance to say it out loud. Her wide skillset makes her a true asset on both video and photography productions and undoubtedly makes my job much easier. In addition to her professionalism and culinary skills, she brings great energy to every set and is incredibly easy to talk to. Maren is always my first choice for stylists; no matter the client, she brings a fresh and unique perspective to any brand."  - Anna DePagter, Senior Art Director, Solve Advertising
