Debbie Wahl
  For over 20 years, Debbie Wahl has been following her love of working with food, exercising her culinary skill and artistic sense to make food look delectable for print and film.

Debbie's styling can be seen in print ads, menus, food packaging and on television and film for clients such as Campbell's Soup, Coca-Cola, Friendly's Restaurants, Perdue, Pizza Hut, McCormick Spice Co., McDonald's and Stouffer Foods.

Debbie brings other assets to the table. Her patience and persistence has ensured success from styling a picnic meal in a stifling sailboat galley for Bon Appetit Magazine to preparing 600 pounds worth of turkey dinners for the Barry Levinson film, Avalon. Debbie's energy, professionalism and sense of humor allow her to seamlessly and creatively collaborate with photographers, art directors, and chefs to please even the most exacting clients.

In addition to food styling, Debbie provides a wide range of services, including media tour support, recipe development, focus group supervision, and on-line food styling instruction.
