Oh hai! Here are a couple of common questions we get asked over and over again. If you’re curious about anything, feel free to ask!
Q: What theme do you use?A: We use a custom WordPress theme that Mike designed specifically for I am a Food Blog. You can see past I am a Food Blog themes here & here, and here.

Q: Do you shoot in natural light?A: 98% of the photos are shot with artificial light. We have an SB500 and we LOVE it. The other 2%, the travel shots, are shot in natural light.
Q: What’s your cooking style/food philosophy?A: Steph – I like simple, delicious, honest food. Most of my recipes are straight-forward and don’t have fussy ingredients. That being said, LOVE combining different foods together. Some very I am a Food Blog recipes are: Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs, Banh Mi Tacos, Okonomiyaki Burgers, and Mac and Cheese Pie. I use a lot of Asian flavors, partially due to nostalgia and partially because they are just so darn delicious.
A: Mike – trashy, drunk food that is obviously too messy to eat but you’re gonna do it anyway because it’s JUST that good. Also I like cooking recipes that are incredibly complex: you know the kind where you have to go to six different grocery stores, use all of the pots and and pans, and take 70-100 hours to make.
Q: Are you that girl that…?A: Yup, I cooked, Mike photographed, and we ate through the entire Momofuku cookbook! It was a delicious ride. You can read all about our adventures at MM42.
