What a surprise when I went to China and the food was nothing like I was expecting. What most people know outside of this huge country as “Chinese food” bears little resemblance to the real thing. I was in northern China, but most Chinese food outside of China is closer to Cantonese cuisine. In this article, I’ll take a quick look at the different regional styles of Chinese food, share …
I swear, even the highway rest stops in Italy have incredible food. Italy is one of those countries where food is more than fuel or nutrition—it’s about life, togetherness, pleasure.

I still remember the first time I had sushi. I was with my friend who was two years older and much more sophisticated. She was in university at the time; I was still in high school.

I’m pretty certain that there’s nothing more hygge-ful than the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through your home. My mom and I always baked …
My godmother has had Type 1 diabetes all her life. I was always fascinated by her insulin pumps, regular skin pricks to check her blood sugar levels, and all of the effort that went into managing her disease. As an adult, I admire how she has accepted her condition and worked all her life to stay healthy. Diabetes is a challenging disease that is affecting a growing number of people …
If there is any food I feel quite good talking about, it is hummus. It is one of the meals you can take and still be rest assured that you have had more nutrients than fats.
