CONTENTS
I AM A FOODIE AT HEART. WHEN EATING OUT, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO try dishes that I havent made in my own kitchen and find ways to recreate them back at home. When traveling, I like to explore neighborhood restaurants to taste local food and indulge in new flavors. I also love being able to prepare a meal with common ingredients, because, honestly, it can be frustrating to hunt down specialty items that arent at the local supermarket. I love eating different foods, creating recipes, introducing unfamiliar dishes to people, and cooking for others, because I believe food brings us together.
