    Tara Teaspoon

    Welcome to the Tara Teaspoon site, where I share recipes for busy weeknights and leisurely weekends.

    I'm Tara, affectionately known as Tara Teaspoon—a nickname that has become synonymous with my work and cooking! My friends call me that and you can too!

    Explore my collection of easy weeknight dinners, decadent desserts, and expert cooking tips to elevate your home cooking and Live Life Deliciously!

    Recipes from an expert food editor, straight to your kitchen

    I'm a former magazine food editor and trained chef, and food is my passion!

    I've been in the food publishing and magazine industry for over 25 years, creating recipes and articles, and food styling for magazines, books, television, and advertising.

    I've had the privilege of working as a Food Editor at Martha Stewart Living (read about my Martha Stewart Omelet!), and then serving as the Food Director at Ladies' Home Journal.

    I loved creating beautiful and delicious food for those publications—and now, whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a cozy meal at home, my goal is to bring that same creative joy to your kitchen with Tara Teaspoon recipes.

    TV: Cooking with Martha Stewart

    I’ve appeared on the Martha Stewart show, The Today Show, The Food Network and loads of local news programs, cooking up a storm with the hosts.
