About Me

Hi! My name is Laura and this is where I talk all things food. I am a full-time marketing professional in the food industry, but have been looking for a personal outlet for my love of food and cooking. I grew up watching Food Network instead of Disney Channel which means I’ve been a foodie for as long as I can remember. My mom is an excellent cook, so I spent a lot of my time growing up in the kitchen with her. I’ve never been much of a recipe person. I have been throwing ingredients together to make up my own recipes for as long as I can remember, so I figured I’d start documenting those recipes here. I draw cooking techniques and inspiration for recipes from everywhere: traveling, restaurants, social media, chefs, blogs, etc.

I grew up in a small town with one grocery store and very few restaurants, so living in Chicago now is the dream for a foodie like me. Between the restaurants, specialty food & beverage shops, and culinary events - Chicago is simply the best. I want to create a space here to share cooking tips, recipes, reviews on products and restaurants, and so much more. I’d love to create a community of people who love to discuss all things food.
