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.

Welcome to my blog

DateThursday, August 20, 2009 at 07:00PM | tagged ,

I’ll be posting pictures, stories, recipes, and interviews, and I’ll post things that I see and eat and make and do and love and hate—and that maybe you will too. The only thing this blog won’t be (if I can help it) is one of those newsletters printed on cheap green paper from Kinko’s that your best friend growing up who married a guy at BYU and now has eight children whose names all begin with D sends once a year at the holidays. 

Thank you.

This picture, which grew out of a long collaboration with Jeffrey Steingarten and Irving Penn, appeared in American Vogue. It’s a newly laid egg, kind of like my newly hatched blog. It is, in fact, a duck egg because the yolk was chubbier and orange—and pleasingly eggy to Mr. Penn.
