    Assistant book team test cook Stephanie Pixley applies a coating of barbecue sauce to a tray of baby back ribs during a photo shoot for an upcoming book of pressure cooker recipes.

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.
