About Me

Natalie
Hello, my name is Natalie. I'm an omnivore with some vegetarian tendencies. I love to pore over cookbooks, browse good food photography, and voraciously read food literature. Food is an art. I'm interested in the history and origins of foods, and I find food science fascinating. Travel and exploration are a couple of my loves- I've been to Mexico (but never the beach), Guatemala, England, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Gabon, and Australia- several places multiple times. I'd go anywhere though! I cook a little for work and a lot for pleasure. Favorite cuisines include French, Italian, and California. Though I have two other jobs in addition, in real life my education is as an occupational therapist (mostly with experience in orthopedics), and I think about working in private practice OT one of these days with children who have a variety of disabilities while using cooking as therapy for things such as tactile defensiveness and fine motor control. I don't have formal culinary training. Anything I know is from trial-and-error, reading, experience, and what others have shared with me.
