If you're a fan of cooking and food, you'll definitely be jealous of Food52's new digs in New York City.
A bit like a social network exclusively for foodies, Food52 is a recipe site and cooking product marketplace where you can search for meal preparation tips and buy all of the gear you need to cook at home.
Founded by former New York Times Editor Amanda Hesser and food writer Merrill Stubbs in 2009, Food52 has raised a total of $9 million in three rounds of funding from investors 14W, Scripps Network Interactive, Walden Venture Capital, Joanne Wilson, and Gary Vaynerchuk, among others.
We recently paid a visit to Food52's brand-new headquarters in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
From a gorgeous test kitchen to food books all around, we were hungry from the moment we walked in.

One of the first things you'll notice when you enter Food52's office is a long, white-walled kitchen where in-house chefs try out recipes to be posted on the site. Finding a building that would allow cooking was a challenge, as most offices don't allow gas stoves or strong food smells. Food52 uses an induction stove to avoid that.
Each dish that appears on Food52 must be cooked to perfection before it's photographed. Here, Chef Reggie works on grilling peaches for a kale salad.
Art Director Alexis Anthony works in a small studio nearby, arranging the food to be as photogenic as possible.
