Biography

Bench got her start working as a Food Editor for Martha Stewart Living magazine. During that time, she discovered her talent for being in the spotlight. 

Although, Bench realized that the primary audience of Food Media and recipes was rapidly shifting away from television and magazines. Today, most seek out quick cooking advise on Google. Or, they find on-demand instructional videos on YouTube. However, Bench’s website, Tara Teaspoon, still drives traffic for her personal recipes, updates, and blog posts.

Now, Bench offers media consulting services for brands and publications.
