Experience
Like many, Taysha’s interest in food began at home. She grew up taste-testing her mom’s culinary creations, and as an adult developed a particular passion for baked goods and coffee (blame her time working at cafes and bakeries). Her other beverages of choice are red wine, whiskey and mezcal.
Taysha has nearly a decade of experience in food and drink and entertaining content. She's penned profile pieces, recipe roundups and beverage-lover gift guides and is committed to informing and inspiring readers. When she's not hunting for the best products and polishing copy, she's probably tending her herb garden, baking bread, sipping Woodford Reserve by the fire, or walking her dog, coffee in hand.
Education
Taysha received her BS in Journalism at Iowa State University.
