LET’S START SIMPLE AND TURN IT INTO DELICIOUS.
Sizzle and Swirl was born when Sydney food stylist Jane Collins, needed her own platform to store recipes, ideas and her cookbooks.
For many years now I have been styling and writing recipes for publications and clients. I have always wanted to write a book. Even a psychic I once visited said I had a book in me! So here they are, my two very first books. I believe that if you master a few dishes well and get some confidence in the kitchen, you can create your own masterpieces.
I have been working on recipes that I love to cook for family and friends, the ones that always get the thumbs up. These are packaged up neatly for you to access either by eBook or a printed version.
I always wanted to be a food stylist. I like to show my creative nature through my food.
I love a well organised plate and I believe you eat first with your eyes. From an early age I loved the buzz and excitement of the kitchen. I soaked up all I could from the restaurant world but I needed another creative and tangible platform to show my art form.
I am very fortunate to work in an industry that I love and to be able to create amazing images. I love food stories that transport you to a place or a memory of the smell of food cooking.I think if you have those two senses working- you can create a delicious meal. I always make my dishes with LOVE - it's the first ingredient on the list . I want to show you that simple food is delicious. Get cooking!
About the book:
35 Egg Recipes That Will Up Your Egg Game
25 Ingredients That Will Transform Your Eggs
I have always loved eggs, how they look, how they photograph and how they taste. They are the perfect vessel for transporting flavours and textures. I believe it’s all about the extras you add to eggs that make them unique and special. This extends to garnishes and what I refer to as “all the bits and pieces”. These are the incidentals that make eggs totally yum. I am all about textures, the crunch factor, the sweet and salty combos, well seasoned food and the fresh pops that make any egg dish sing.
This book will inspire you to add a little extra punch to your eggs and change up your egg game. As well as tips and tricks on how I love to cook eggs, different styles of eggs, and what goes with eggs. My love for photographing eggs, eating them, trying out all the combinations that go with eggs started out as a Saturday morning post on Instagram with my twin daughters. I have posted over 250 egg styles. So it was definitely time to collate them and put them in a book. Learn how to cook jammy eggs, soft boiled eggs folded eggs, fried eggs, the list is endless.
Packed with tips and ideas on how to eat eggs differently.

I still work alongside him today creating images for clients. We have collaborated to make this book- beautiful food imagery and recipes.
