IN THE BEGINNING: Edible food design was incorporated on November the 5th 2001. It is a private company owned and run by Sophie Douglas-Bate . PREVIOUS TO THAT TIME: From 1986 to 2001 Sophie Douglas-Bate worked as a freelance cook. After training, she began by working in a ski resort, running a villa in Sardinia and working her way around the world cooking in Hong Kong and Australia. At the beginning of the nineties and working from home, Sophie started to develop her London based work. She built-up a solid and loyal client base cooking for director’s dining rooms, television hospitality, private client dinners and lunches, together with weddings, large cocktail parties and what ever was asked of her! As these clients all became more established and regular, she decided to find a small industrial unit in which to build a kitchen. The new kitchen enabled her to look after all her clients and their requirements. It became obvious within weeks of opening the new kitchen that additional help was required and so she took on an assistant. Edible Food Design was born from that kitchen and has now expanded into a healthy and flourishing company. We are now based in Vauxhall and have a team of 5 full-time staff. Edible now has a growing list of well-established clients in and around London. We continue to look after various directors dining rooms on a weekly basis, cater for weddings, cocktail parties, sporting events, television awards ceremonies , large dinners and all nature of private events together with many charitable organisations. Edible is in addition a recommended caterer for various venues in central London.
