    Cook’s Country senior editor Diane Unger, left, shows deputy art director Susan Levin a skillet of just-finished porcupines (a classic recipe meatballs of pork and beef studded with grains of rice and simmered in a tomato-based sauce). This isn’t an interaction fueled by hunger or simple curiosity, though: it’s Susan’s job to decide what art will accompany the currently-in-development recipe in the magazine, and it’s never too early to scope out a dish to come up with new design ideas.

    Steve Klise is a photo editor at America's Test Kitchen. When he isn't running the Test Kitchen Snapshots section of The Feed, drooling over pictures of food while directing shoots for Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country, or trying to stay out of the way while taking photos in the Test Kitchen, you can find him scurrying around his own kitchen, relaxing in one of Boston's waterfront parks, daydreaming about great barbecue, or stuck in traffic jamming out to Springsteen with the windows down.
