I live for travel, adventures, and great food. When I’m not on the road, I find I miss the food that I’ve tried on my trips the most. Since I can’t find some of them here in Chicago, I figured I might as well learn how to make it myself using resources available to me locally. I’m a self-taught cook, and over the course of my travels, I’ve attended many cooking classes taught by locals. I have also been fortunate enough to be taken in by my hosts into their homes and in their kitchens, and they’ve graciously shared with me their family history, culture, and recipes. The recipes here are products of endless trial and error (but in a fun way). I hope I can put the world at your table.
