Hello my fellow food lovers!!

Hey guys,  my name is Emily and I am really excited to finally start my very own food adventures blog! I'm currently a Junior at Umass Amherst and born and raised in Bergen County NJ. Since I have enjoyed cooking, eating, and discovering new foods for my entire life, I am surprised it has taken me so long to start blogging about my love for food! I started cooking when I was a little girl, helping my mom in the kitchen breading chicken cutlets, and have continued to expand my knowledge of cooking ever since. I would have to say that my favorite food is Italian due to the fact that I've been surrounded by amazing Italian cooks my entire life! My great grandpa (who came over from the Amalfi Coast region of Italy) taught my grandma, and she taught my mom and my mom taught me! Throughout all of my travels, especially my trips to Italy, London and Israel, I was most inspired by the food that I discovered while exploring local markets and communities within the different cultures.  I hope that my passion for food takes me on many, many more adventures throughout my life and through my blog I hope to meet/inspire people who love food just as much as me!
