We all know what a dictionary is. Its that big book (and for some, a website) that provides you with the definition of a word. My blog is about defining food. What does food mean to me. What does it mean to you?
I've been a writer since I was a little girl. I've always had a passion for writing stories, poems, and character sketches. As an adult, I write for a living. Writing is a way to express myself.
I started cooking when I was about 6 years old. I didn't realize then that eventually I would grow up to become what everyone calls a Foodie. According to Wikepedia, Foodie is an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink. The word was coined in 1981 by Paul Levy and Ann Barr, who used it in the title of their 1984 book The Official Foodie Handbook. Foodies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news.
As a Foodie, I intend to share my passion for writing and food in this blog. I hope that I am educational, inspiring, and maybe even funny on occassion. My intent is to not provide step by step instructions on cooking; I"m not a professional chef. But I would love to share my tips, lessons learned, and travel stories about food.
