Katie Quinn Davies started her career as a graphic designer but pivoted to food photography in 2009, launching her popular blog, What Katie Ate. She develops, cooks, styles, and photographs each recipe for her blog, which has gained a large following in both Australia and the United States.
Her first cookbook, What Katie Ate, was released in September 2012 in collaboration with Penguin Books Australia, Penguin New York, HarperCollins UK, and Hachette Livre in France. The 304-page hardback features honest, home-cooked recipes inspired by Katie's love for dinner parties with friends and family.
Katie's photography has been featured in top Australian and international magazines such as Delicious, Real Living, Sunday Life, Martha Stewart Living, and Food + Wine NYC. She has worked with a range of editorial and advertising clients, including Penguin Books, Murdoch Books, ACP Magazines, News Magazines, Conde Nast Brides, Vogue Weddings Japan, Fairfax Media, Tourism Victoria, Kellogg’s, KitchenAid, Unilever, Sonoma Breads, Taylors Wines, and Lean Cuisine.
In addition to her blog, Katie is a cookbook author and recipe writer. She is a regular contributor to Australia's ABC Delicious Magazine, where she writes, styles, and shoots an eight-page food editorial story each month. When not traveling the world to explore great food and meet top producers, Katie updates her blog from her Sydney studio with new and seasonal recipes.
