Hannah Wilding’s journey into the food industry is anything but traditional. Originally a theatre professional, she hit a major plot twist during the COVID-19 pandemic. And with auditions on hold, she instead turned to her other passion - food.
BREAKING THE MOULD WITH BOLD BEAN Co
During this time of uncertainty, she decided to share her creations on Instagram - from pimped up porridge bowls, seasonal salads and a bowl of soup which to her surprise, went viral. This moment was a turning point, leading her to build an engaged community of over 100,000 followers who are captivated by her vibrant, seasonal cooking.
Hannah’s story is a testament to the power of passion and creativity. Rather than following the conventional path through cooking school, she embraced a "squiggly" career route, leveraging social media to share her culinary creations. Her colourful dishes are both inspirational and accessible, encouraging her audience to explore their own culinary talents.
Hannah's innovative approach caught the attention of Bold Bean Co, where she now heads up content. Her role allows her to further her mission of inspiring others to explore food in unique ways. Bold Bean Co is known for its commitment to sustainability and quality, and Hannah’s vibrant recipes perfectly complement their brand ethos.
Hannah is enthusiastic about encouraging others to pursue their dreams in the food industry, regardless of their background or starting point. Her story demonstrates that with creativity, authenticity, and perseverance, anyone can make a mark in the culinary world. She hopes to inspire others to embrace non-traditional paths and explore new opportunities, just as she has.
