Welcome to Let it Simmer.
Our experiences make us who we are and food is no exception. From individual palates to personal identities and beliefs, our lives are continuously shaped by the way we view, understand, and connect with food. These are stories everyone has, and I believe that they are a stories worth telling.
“Let it Simmer” means a few things, but it is above all an encouragement. I hope you approach these stories with an openness to what can unfold within you. Let them sit with you and make you curious about your own experience. Take what you need from them.
