Mrs. Peacock, the kingdom of heaven is at hand — and its name is Gilt Taste
If there were a competition for making me poor, Gilt would win. And now comes word the company has launched a food-dedicated sale site, Gilt Taste.

For those who subscribe to the members-only haute clearinghouse Gilt, you know well the site’s deadly allure. Thirty-dollar Penguin swimsuits! Fifty-dollar German-engineered knives! Twenty-eight-dollar metallic-silver canvas-and-red patent-leather Puma high-tops! So what if I’ve worn them maybe three times, THEY WERE $28!
If there were a competition for making me poor, Gilt would win. And now comes word the company has launched a food-dedicated sale site, Gilt Taste. Evil, evil, evil. The beta site is still a little temperamental, but not so fritzy as to prevent wannabe gourmands from pleasuring themselves to gratuitous imagery of La Tartufata white truffle cream, 479 Vietnamese cinnamon-sugar popcorn, D'Artagnan Mangalica ham and more. The curators of Gilt Taste have even smiled upon Philly by showcasing local chocolatier John & Kira's Ladybugs, Bees and insane whisky ganache figs. Get them!
For fans of food journalism, Gilt Taste is paired with an online magazine edited by Ruth Reichl. Maybe she’s looking for freelancers? Right here, Ruth! Will work for figs.
