Episode 42 | From Recipe to Reach | March 10, 2026
Tara Bench
Show Notes: The Easy Bake Oven (cooking with a lightbulb!) featured prominently in food content creator Tara Bench’s early years, like it did for many of us. But Tara took that early passion many steps further, cultivating a career in food that spans books, blogs, TV, and magazines.
Her internship at Martha Stewart Living turned into a full time Food Editor and Food Stylist job where she learned the ropes of turning recipes into beautiful editorial content. These experiences propelled her to a job as Food Director at Ladies Home Journal - sadly no longer in publication - as well as other freelance jobs creating recipes and producing content for food brands. These days she creates recipes for her own website www.tarateaspoon.com and has authored two cookbooks Live Life Deliciously and Delicious Gatherings.
