Not only is she the food stylist in charge of making sure every dish looks as delicious as possible, but she’s also responsible for planning out every step of the process to make sure each food element is exactly where it needs to be. Rhoda tells Jordan about all the craziness her job entails and shares all the tips and tricks food stylists use to make food beautiful.
