Hazel B. Kelly

Hazel B. is an independent publisher, writer, photographer and illustrator, and the creator of Phat Story®, The Coo® and Ashas®. Her work brings together food, wine, travel, beauty and everyday experiences through editorial books, lifestyle publications and original storytelling inspired by discoveries across Europe and Asia.

Every publication is independently researched, photographed, illustrated, written and designed by Hazel B., bringing together editorial storytelling, photography, illustration and design into one carefully curated publication.

Deliciousness comes first.

This simple idea runs through much of Hazel B.’s work. Great plant-based food begins with flavour. Sparkling wine belongs just as naturally to an ordinary dinner as it does to a celebration. The most memorable journeys often begin with a beautiful meal, a hidden café, a conversation with local people or an unexpected discovery.

From British vineyards and French cafés to Japanese beauty rituals, Taiwanese vegetarian discoveries and the vibrant food culture of Hong Kong, her work celebrates beautiful everyday living across East and West.

Whether creating a picture book, an editorial collection or a lifestyle publication, Hazel B. creates books to collect, revisit and enjoy, publications that inspire curiosity and celebrate the beauty of everyday life.
