Tina Braven is the recipe developer, writer, and flavor enthusiast behind WhiskFiles.com, a food blog dedicated to exploring the stories, techniques, and inspirations behind home-cooked meals that truly resonate. With a background in culinary anthropology and a decade of experience in editorial food writing, Tina brings depth and curiosity to everything she shares—from weeknight meals to heirloom recipes.
WhiskFiles was born from Tina’s deep-rooted belief that recipes are more than just instructions—they’re living records of culture, memory, and creativity. After being in featured Saveur, Food52, and The Spruce Eats, she launched her own space to document the evolving archive of flavors she explores every day. Whether she’s diving into regional spice blends or deconstructing a viral baking trend, Tina brings her audience into the “why” behind the dish as much as the “how.”
Known for her thoughtful writing, detail-driven techniques, and globally inspired comfort food, Tina’s work resonates with both seasoned home cooks and curious beginners.
Outside the kitchen, Tina is a collector of vintage cookbooks, a believer in late-night journaling with a glass of red wine.
