In addition Delish.com will also officially welcome editorial team members Karen Berner, senior editor; Sara Schwartz, associate editor; Kiri Tannenbaum, contributing editor; and Allison Stedman, video producer, all of whom have been a part of the site's development from the get go. Full release after the jump. DELISH.COM HIRES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND ADDITIONAL STAFF TO HELP BRING EDITORIAL VISION TO LIFE New team will create editorial that offers site visitors a glimpse into the exciting world of food, well beyond recipes New York October 7, 2008 The launch of Delish.com, a new venture between Hearst Magazines Digital Media and MSN, has ushered in a new era of food-related online content. While many food sites simply offer recipes, Delish.com is taking its content one step further by providing site visitors with interesting editorial on the people, culture and celebrity status behind the food we eat every day, as well as detailed information on thousands of delectable recipes. To help realize this editorial vision, Hearst Magazines Digital Media today announced that Elizabeth Shepard has joined Delish.com as executive director. Additional staffers have joined the site to help create its ongoing original content. "I have an insatiable passion for food and lifestyle content and Delish.com is the perfect place for me to bring that passion to life," said Elizabeth Shepard, executive director, Delish.com. "I'm excited to continue the efforts in building the Delish brand, while also distinctly differentiating the site's content from anything else that currently exists in the marketplace." Shepard will be taking over from the site's founding editor, Nicole Stagg. "In order to stand out in the marketplace, we knew we had to do something different than what was already out there. The founding team wanted to leverage the well-known brands we have at Hearst, and include more than just recipes. We quickly realized the way to do that was to celebrate the fun side of food - celebrity chefs, television shows, pop culture, and the people behind food festivals and cook- offs." said Stagg . "Now that the site has launched and the brand has a unique voice, tone and identity, Elizabeth is the perfect person to take Delish.com to the next level and continue that vision. We are excited to have her on the team." Shepard comes to Delish.com from Time Inc., where she was the managing editor of Time Inc. Content Solutions (formerly known as Time Inc. Custom Publishing). During her tenure in this position, she was responsible for creative and strategic execution of more than 25 original, quarterly magazine titles, numerous Web sites and other customized-communications programs. Prior to Time Inc., Shepard served as the editor-in-chief of CondeNet's Epicurious.com and Concierge.com. In addition to Shepard's appointment, Delish.com is also officially welcoming other editorial team members who have been a part of the site's development from the get go, including: Karen Berner, senior editor; Sara Schwartz, associate editor; Kiri Tannenbaum, contributing editor; and Allison Stedman, video producer.
