One thing that I wish I had in my family was a list of recipes from my great-great-grandparents. I have four sets of families and only one grandparent managed to write down a few recipes for us! I feel like it is up to me to start writing down recipes to pass down to future generations, but I want to ...
One day I hope to go to Italy, try authentic Italian food and see the sights. For now, I will have to take Italy home with some new cookbooks! I am thrilled to see a mix of modern and traditional Italian fare in these new cookbooks. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if ...
As most of you know, I am in love with Japanese food. I am always in search of ways to make my Japanese favorites even better. I’m always evolving my recipes.

When I was younger, I visited France with my classmates in the Springtime. Eating food was genuinely one of my favorite aspects of traveling to France. The length of time each dish came out almost forced us to relax and enjoy the moment. I would love to recreate that experience by cooking my own French food at home. (Disclosure: Some ...
One of my library haul cookbooks this week was the Honey & Co.: The Baking Book cookbook. I’d never heard of London restaurant Honey & Co (established 2012) until now. Restaurant owners Sarit Packer and Itamar Syulovich met at a restaurant in Israel, fell in love, started Honey & Co., and then opened the Honey & Spice food store as ...

Learning how to make our own Vietnamese food has always been on our bucket list. We’ve attempted many dishes, but always seem unsuccessful – and ...
Spanish cuisine, for Americans, tends to be put on the back burner when it comes to Western European food. I’ve only tried a handful of Spanish dishes and most of the time they were offered at high end restaurants. I wish it was more popular for the common household! Basque is a magical place, from everything I’ve read. I hope ...
I’ve said it before, but I tend to eat a lot of Asian food. It is my favorite kind of cuisine and it’s typically gluten friendly – Or easy to make gluten-free. I honestly cannot wait to start making some of my favorite Asian dishes plant-based. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if ...
Let’s be honest, every time I have gone to a pub or bar I am looking forward to the drinks more than the food. There are a few pubs I have gone to that have exquisite food, but it sometimes feels jumbled together. There’s not a lot of special attention to food pairings, specialty cocktails, or the theme seems to ...
One of my bucket list items is to go to as many countries I can and taste the local cuisine. I love traveling and being adventurous – especially when it comes to food. I will try anything! What if there was a cookbook that provided all of us with tasty classics from Paris to Marrakesh, Beijing to Rio de Janeiro? ...
