I am the former social media manager and editor at Foodista. Cooking and baking hold a very special place in my life- both creative ways of sharing and celebrating my life through food. Growing up I loved to follow my mother around the kitchen, asking questions, spilling things, eating, eating, and eating. And today, I'm still calling her for recipes, creating my own, exploring food in any way I can, and writing about it. I also write my own food blog at CanYouStayForDinner.com.

I fell in love with falafel in Paris. My best friend, studying at the Sorbonne for a semester, took me to a little cranny of a place near the Latin Quarter. I had to wonder what French...

Since I was a tiny baby...scratch that, I was never a tiny baby. Since I was a venti-sized baby, I've been baking. I know, impossible. A newborn with a whisk? Sometimes I wonder. But it's...

I've recently read a few articles describing gluten-free diets as trendy. Heck, The Daily Beast added gluten-free food to its list of Top Ten Biggest Food Trends of 2010 , right alongside coconut...

As a cook, I go through food ruts. Those times when not even Emeril can convince me that a generous sprinkling of "BAM!" will resuscitate my flat-lining passion for chicken. I simply can't kick it...

I'm in love with meat eaters. My boyfriend, my parents, my friends- all of carnivorous persuasion. And me? A meat eater too, but without that same level of attachment to the animal at each meal....

Admittedly, Seattle isn't the hottest place to be in the summertime. It's quite different from the summers I remember growing up in Massachusetts. The ones where the humidity wraps around...

It's difficult to toss around superlatives when it comes to food. Too many delicious dishes to consider. But I feel confident in saying that food that has been grilled is among the best. Burgers,...

Let's try an analogy: Dads are to beef as bees are to honey. Either that makes sense to you or you're considering what my SAT verbal score could have been. When I asked friends and acquaintances...

When you grow up in a strictly vegetarian household, tofu and tempeh come to feel like siblings. At times odd and off-putting, but a part of you nevertheless. Meat becomes the intimidating neighbor...

Just when you thought you'd heard enough about Iceland this year, I'm here to tell you another tale. Fortunately this one does not involve volcanoes or cancelled flights. This past December, I...
