The Editors

Layla Haddad

Layla is AreYouFashion's Food & Drinks Editor, bringing the good-living side of the magazine to the table. Her expertise is approachable cooking that actually works: weeknight recipes you can genuinely pull off, entertaining ideas that look generous without the stress, and the flavours, drinks and rituals worth knowing about. She keeps things unfussy and doable on purpose — testing recipes so the timings and quantities hold up in a normal kitchen, not a photo studio. She believes good food should feel like a pleasure rather than a performance, and she writes for real weeknights and real budgets. Areas of focus: recipes, entertaining, drinks and seasonal cooking.
