About

Hello, my name is Krista, and if this is your first time visiting RadioGastronomy, this is a good place to start.  I live in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, and I love to make things.  That’s probably why I chose to go to art school and make clothes when I was 18 years old.  After working in the fashion industry for a while, I noticed that I gradually stopped making things and started spending more and more time on Excel spreadsheets and the sending of emails, and I didn’t enjoy those activities very much.  I was coming home and cooking for fun all the time, and then I started to really love it.  Soon, my family and friends started to enjoy what I made, and I traded Vogue for Cooks Ilustrated.  Then I lost my Daddy, a complete foodie and wine geek to the core, and my single biggest culinary influence.  Shortly after, I decided that the best possible homage I could pay was to devote my life to the study of living well, eating well, and drinking well while surrounding myself with people I adore and being as conscious as possible of Planet Earth and Mother Nature, where we all come from, no matter who, or what, we are.
