The donna hay headquarters is abuzz with activity on any day of the week. In the kitchen there is always something delicious baking in the oven or bubbling on the stovetop, filling the studio and office with mouth-watering aromas. Our food stylists and photographers bustle about capturing the delicious creations on film while, just down the hall, the recipes are coming to life in the pages of donna hay magazine and in Donna’s cookbooks. It’s also here that Donna’s vision for her beautiful homewares and food ranges are fine-tuned before the products find their way onto store shelves.
Every donna hay recipe is tested and photographed for Donna’s cookbooks, weekly national newspaper column and donna hay magazine at the studio. At donna hay, we’re firm believers that fresh is always best, so every dish is styled and photographed hot from the kitchen – we don’t use any sneaky tricks to make our recipes look beautiful, it’s all down to natural good looks. All donna hay publications are designed and written in-house by our editorial team in close collaboration with the kitchen team. And, if we’re lucky, that collaboration will sometimes happen over a delicious lunch cooked by Donna!
Donna’s creative collaboration with Royal Doulton combines her casually elegant signature style with the timeless quality of one of the most trusted and loved homeware brands. The exclusive range is due to be released in early 2011 and is an example of Donna’s passion for all things simple, beautiful and functional. In addition to the Royal Doulton range, Donna is excited to now offer her own eponymous range for purchase online at donnhay.com. Spanning everything from delicate cupcake papers to chic tote bags, the range has been designed by Donna with classic, everyday style in mind.
