Kylee Newton grew up in New Zealand and lives in London. She has turned her hand to a variety of creative jobs from analogue photography printing for artist Wolfgang Tillmans to floristry in jam jars. Many years ago, she began making preserves to give as homemade Christmas presents which led her to create the London-based preserving company Newton & Pott. Making quality jams, pickles and chutneys in small batches was at its heart, selling them at local markets and with clients such as Selfridges, Harrods and Harvey Nichols. She is seen as an expert in her field and now focusses her attention on hosting preserving workshops, food writing, food consultation and recipe development.
