Q: What’s your cooking style/food philosophy?
A: Steph – I like simple, delicious, honest food. Most of my recipes are straight-forward and don’t have fussy ingredients. That being said, LOVE combining different foods together. Some very I am a Food Blog recipes are: Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs, Banh Mi Tacos, Okonomiyaki Burgers, and Mac and Cheese Pie. I use a lot of Asian flavors, partially due to nostalgia and partially because they are just so darn delicious.
A: Mike – trashy, drunk food that is obviously too messy to eat but you’re gonna do it anyway because it’s that good.
Q: Are you that girl that…?
A: Yup, I cooked, Mike photographed, and we ate through the entire Momofuku cookbook! It was a delicious ride. You can read all about our adventures at MM42.
Q: Can I use your images and recipes on my site?
A: We work really hard to provide unique content. All of the content and images are copyrighted, which means you need permission to use them. If you want to share a recipe please limit yourself to one image and link back to iamafoodblog.com or to the post directly. If you’d like to repost the recipe on your site, please re-write it so it’s in your own words. When in doubt, just send an email to ask. Thank you!
Q: How can I reach you?
A: You can contact us right here!
Your photography is just beautiful, I was simply shocked to hear that you do it all with a speed light, very impressive. I would like to learn to use one over constant lighting one day. If you ever post an article about lighting please be sure to let me know.
