About Me

I’m Victoria Granof, Mother of Theo, Food Stylist, Conceiver of Ideas, Crafter of Food, Developer of Recipes, and Author of the book Sweet Sicily: The Story of an Island and Her Pastries. I’ve spent the last 15 years contributing to domestic and international magazines and national and international ad campaigns for clients like Häagen-Dazs, Target, Bacardi, Absolut, Wolf-Subzero, Truvia, Clinique, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal, ReadyMade, Bon Appetit, New York magazine, The New York Times, and others. What else? I make my own salt, soap, and sauerkraut. I'm lucky to work with some great photographers like Hans Gissinger, Raymond Meier, Richard Burbridge, Anita Calero, Kenji Toma, Craig Cutler, Marcus Nilsson, Toby McFarland-Pond, Mitchell Feinberg, and more…

And I love food, in all forms.

Books, DVDs, and Magazines

I hope the yeast hasn't fully crapped out before it has a chance to work on the sugar. We'll see.
