Behind Fresh Ingredients

“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” -Julia Child

When we travel to new places we learn how to not only embrace change but find joy in it. Those experiences create depth, knowledge and stories. With that said, there is nothing like coming home and reverting back to what is known.

Food is such a big part of all our experiences. We idolize it when we travel but we also find comfort in it at home. It is so much apart of our histories. It can define our stories.

Enjoy!

“Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.”

  20. Love what you say about food playing such a prominent role in our lives, our stories! So true. It’s funny that you call yourself a “wannabe”–I think you are a chef already. Thanks for following my blog, in which food is also a frequent feature, along with anything that seems to relate to our health.

  21. Thank you for the like on my post about one of my favourite Northern Irish meals the Ulster Fry! I love good food but according to my husband I am not necessarily skilled at preparing it! I too love travel and love trying local food. I will keep an eye out for your inspiring receipes.

    1. Thank you! I look forward to your posts!

  22. You have an interesting site with some top-notch photos. I look forward to making a big batch of chicken fried rice this weekend; reading about it here has set up a craving!
