Summary

As a college student, Tara Bench saw pictures of beautiful food spreads in magazines and knew what she wanted to be: the person who made that food. It took awhile to figure out what that job would look like, but eventually she landed a dream job as a food editor at Martha Stewart Living.

Now, Bench—perhaps best known as Tara Teaspoon—is living the New York dream, having just published her first cookbook.

“He knows what we can handle. We aren’t exposed to anything that He’s not aware of, that we can’t deal with, with His help.”
