Romilly Newman is a culinary creative, food stylist, and recipe developer who has worked with the likes of Athena Calderone and Martha Stewart plus a host of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Romilly has a distinct style when it comes to food and fashion, and she's had a unique career to boot. Her interest in the worlds of food and fashion started when she was a precocious kid watching the Food Network and eager to be a grown up. She even competed on the show “Chopped” at the age of 13. 

Romilly and host Kerry Diamond talk about her childhood, how folks like Nigella, Ina, and Martha continue to inspire her path, her dream of writing cookbooks one day, and how film and Dutch still life paintings have contributed to her aesthetic.
