My love for food started as early as I can remember. Growing up in a city full of an amazing variety of foods and a family of phenomenal cooks fueled my love even more. I frequently watched Food Network and Travel Channel while creating a list of restaurants to try. I am a devoted food traveler and I recently became an enthusiastic home chef in training. To me, food is more than just something we eat to survive. Food represents love and is a common thread we share with people around the world.
