A little about me: I’m Chinese-American, was born in the US but spent nearly 7 years of my life in Shanghai with my husband and dog, and I am completely obsessed with food. It’s funny – I never set out to be a foodie, actually (hence the name of this blog). My mom is a fantastic cook. Growing up, I got spoiled by her cooking, and when I started living on my own, I wasn’t too thrilled at the prospe
ct of eating sub-par food. But like every other young adult at that age, I was too poor to eat out, so I started trying to cook for myself at home. While my first dishes weren’t Michelin-star status, they weren’t half bad, and after a while, what started out as an act of desperation quickly became a full-blown passion. What I find the most fascinating about food is how much you can learn from it, especially when you’re traveling. There’s nothing I love more than trying new foods while on the adventure of a lifetime, and then being able to bring that inspiration back to my own kitchen at a later time. Thanks for joining me on this journey into the blogosphere and I hope you enjoy what I have to offer – Bon Appétit!
