Welcome! I’m Nicole Branan, a professional recipe developer, food photographer and stylist in the greater Denver area and this is my food blog.
The Spice Train is for everyone who enjoys making good food as much as eating it. What you find here is from-scratch cooking with real ingredients and lots of delicious spices.
My recipes have been featured on Better Homes & Gardens, House Beautiful, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Town & Country and Redbook.
My food photographs have won international awards and have been licensed and published in numerous cookbooks, online publications and print magazines.
To see more of my photography work, please visit my portfolio website nicolebranan.com.
I have also written two food photography eBooks that you can check out here: Food Photography Props eBook, Dark Food Photography.
If you are interested in working with me or want to license my photos for commercial or editorial use, please contact me at nicole@thespicetrain.com.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I appreciate your interest!
