Our Year in (Very Delicious) Photos

December 31, 2015

2015 has been big for us in a lot of ways—just check out our highlight reel!—but we shot more photos this year than we ever have before, on more complex sets than we've built before, with a heck of a lot of new props, new test kitchen chefs, and new stylists. We had long, long lists of ingredients to source, made many a GIF, and ate a lot of photo shoot leftovers (very gladly).

Our wonderful photographers deserve their own shout-out right here: James Ransom, Bobbi Lin, Mark Weinberg, Alpha Smoot, Linda Xiao, and Rocky Luten produce almost all of Food52's photography. (And do a pretty great job, if we do say so ourselves.)

Here are some of the times they really nailed it in 2015:
