My Journey in Home Cooking
Meals & Other Things That Have Made Me A Better Cook
Meals and other things that have made me a better cook
The other day, I attempted to log into my long-since-abandoned Snapchat account to access photos from 2016 when I was living with roommates and traveling nearly every week for photo work. The meals I would make were… not quite giving meal and were more so giving vague bowl of food. I wasn’t worried about it at the time and was simply trying to sustain myself with microwavable bags of broccoli and seasoning with my roommates’ seemingly ancient salt and pepper shakers and calling it a day. Unfortunately, the photos of the bowls of broccoli and ground beef nachos that I proudly displayed on my Snapchat story for all to see are lost to time (and the pre-archive feature on the app, lol), and maybe that’s for the best. As far as getting from there to here: I started with a massive love for food, and for that, I can thank my parents who went out of their way to expose me to unique dishes and meals they loved even when I was so little that I theoretically shouldn’t have liked what they were feeding me. Their plan worked—maybe a little too well—and I was a three-year-old who was obsessed with steamed artichokes dipped in butter and a fifth-grader asking for tapenade on my lunchbox sandwiches. 😭
And now, here are some of the restaurants and meals that have inspired me the most—I thought this would be a great place to share some of my all-time favorites—and some things I’ve learned along the way that have improved my home cooking experience.
