Jessica Dady is Food Editor at GoodtoKnow and has over 12 years of experience as a digital editor, specialising in all things food, recipes, and SEO. From the must-buy seasonal food hampers and advent calendars for Christmas to the family-friendly air fryers that’ll make dinner time a breeze, Jessica loves trying and testing various food products to find the best of the best for the busy parents among us.
She first joined the team back in 2012 as a Recipes Assistant following her graduation from Brunel University, where she gained a First Class BSc (Hons) degree in Communication and Media Studies. Over the years, Jessica has had the privilege of working alongside GoodtoKnow's Test Kitchen to create how-to videos - as well as writing, testing, and shooting her own recipes. Jessica has also been lucky enough to interview some of the nation's best-loved chefs including Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, and The Hairy Bikers. Along with GoodtoKnow, Jessica has also written for Honest Cooking, Fresh, Essentials, and Eat-In, and has previously worked with BBC, Good Housekeeping, Reader’s Digest, Marks & Spencers, and UKTV Good Food.
When she’s not embracing the great outdoors with her family at the weekends (she doesn’t shy away from a muddy hike!) Jessica enjoys baking up a storm in the kitchen with her favourite bakes being chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, and a tray of gooey chocolate brownies. She is also a massive fan of winter comfort foods and just loves making a chicken casserole with dumplings, homemade chicken and mushroom pie with mashed potatoes, and cottage pie, topped with plenty of cheese.
