We're David Tamarkin and Anna Stockwell, editors at Epicurious. We spend most of our days in a Test Kitchen and writing recipes to share with home cooks around the world. Ask us anything!

My name is David Tamarkin, and I'm the Digital Director (in other words, the site director) of Epicurious. I oversee editorial (what stories we put up, what our voice is) and strategy (which social networks we'll focus on, how to get new readers, etc). I also have the power to demand that I get a note on Slack whenever there are cookies in the test kitchen, which is admittedly a power I abuse. Also! I'm writing an Epicurious cookbook based on #cook90, my yearly initiative to cook everything I eat in January; it'll be out in December, which means it is due in June, which means I am freaking out. Find me on Instagram at @davidtamarkin and ASK. ME. ANYTHING

I'm the Senior Food Editor at Epicurious. What the means is that I spend a lot of time obsessing over what to cook for dinner, and coming up with new ways to help get people excited about cooking for themselves at home. I'm constantly dreaming up ideas for new recipes, then I experiment and tinker in the Test Kitchen until those new recipes work as well and as quickly as possible, then fuss with the food (aka "food styling") to make it look pretty for the camera. I also write a lot of articles about how to cook and how to entertain—I especially love curating menus and planning parties.
