Hi, I'm Christina!

Christina has been featured in multiple national recipe and news publications such as Good Morning America, ABC News, All Recipes, and Huffpost.

About Christina
Christina grew up with a passion for food that's been alive ever since she can remember. Once of Christina's earliest memories is waking up early to make her parents 'breakfast' which consisted of children's plates, shredded cheese, pepperoni, and crackers. She's loved cooking for others ever since!
Christina grew up working at a restaurant for five years and fell in love with the food industry. She worked in front of house, back of house, catering, and even office positions.
Even though Christina loved food at a young age, when the time to attend college approached, she didn't know how to make it a career. Christina instead pursued an engineering degree and worked in jobs from a lighting factory to insurance software implementation.
After 5 years in Corporate America, Christina knew it wasn't her future and yearned to work with food. She started Tasting with Tina as a way to document what she was making for dinner, and she started teaching herself food photography.
After a few years of working on Tasting with Tina for fun, 2020 happened. Christina had a lot more time and promised herself she'd find a way to make cooking her job. She worked extremely hard for two years, and in April of 2022, quit her corporate job.
Since then, Christina has a wide experience cooking across a variety of cuisines. She's led cooking retreats in Italy, local cooking demos, and small class sessions. She loves creating recipes, creating stunning images, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and dog, Enzo.
