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.

And I love food, in all forms.

WWoofin' it

 

I was on a shoot yesterday with a photo assistant who had just come back from a "WWOOF" trip.  She had spent a month at a vineyard in Italy for free. Well, OK, she did have to help bring in the grapes in exchange for room and board, but I don't call that work.

The WWOOF organization links you with organic farms around the world, where you stay for free in exchange for working on the farm. Marcus jumped on it, and so did I. I wonder at the extent of trouble we could cook up if we both ended up on the same chicken farm in France this spring?
