Cook Spotlight
Nicole Franzen
Nicole Franzen is a photographer and food blogger who has worked in all stations of the restaurant industry -- from bussing tables to cooking to managing the front of the house -- and lived in beautiful places all over the world. Nicole has been posting recipes on food52 for just over a month, but she's done so with gusto -- and mostly outside of the bounds of our recipe contests, which we always love to see. We've been transfixed by her lovely photos and vibrant recipes from the get-go: from her simple, striking duo of tortilla recipes on day one (Tortilla Soup and Mi Tortilla Española) through to her latest White Bean, Celery and Cress with a Blue Cheese Vinaigrette and Lemon Ricotta Crepes with Blueberry Sauce. Are you not transfixed? Bet you are! See Nicole Franzen's profile page and fan her here.

Lovely recipes, and your photos are so beautiful, Nicole. I especially like the NYC rooftops, with all the water tanks.
