FAQ

What type of camera do you use?

I have a Nikon D90 D7000 dSLR and use an 18-105mm lens.

What type of lighting equipment do you use?

I only shoot with natural light (and the addition of a few strategically placed poster boards).

Where did you go to culinary school?

I went to The Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and graduated from the Culinary Arts diploma program.

Is Just a Taste your full-time job?

It’s a full-time job, in addition to another full-time job! I currently work as the Associate Editor of Gourmet Live at Condé Nast.

How do write about food and not weigh 378 pounds?

My eating mantra has always been to never deprive myself or to put certain fattier or more indulgent foods on the “off limits” list. If I have a craving, I go for it, but I have just a taste. 

Do you have any restaurant recommendations for New York City?

The list is truly endless, so check out my Taste Guide for a map of my favorite culinary hot spots in New York City.

Do you have any cookbook or kitchen appliance recommendations?

I’m a cookbook and kitchen gadget junkie, so much like my list of favorite restaurants, my collections are endless. You can visit my Amazon Store for a list of my top-rated cookbooks and my favorite kitchen appliances.

Can my recipe be featured on Just a Taste?

By all means, yes! Email me your recipe at kelly@justataste.com and I’ll test it out, photograph it and then feature it on the site with full attribution and a link back to you.
