Hey, Hi, Hello.

I started my Charm City Cook blog in 2010 as a way to document my kitchen adventures. After a couple of trips to Paris to visit my best friend, I developed an interest in food and cooking and I dove in — France really made me see everything about food differently. With the help of food television and people like Julia Child, Mark Bittman and Ina Garten, I began to try cooking new things. I like to call it tinkering. I prefer playing around with flavors and ingredients, tasting and figuring out what my dish needs. My cooking is often based on cravings — I hope yours is, too. That makes it more of an adventure.
