behind the recipes

Hi, I’m Laura

I spent most of my adult career as a DNA Criminalist specializing in cold case homicide cases. In 2018 I left this job to pursue a much lighter subject matter. You can read about my journey HERE.

Cooking and photography have always been two of my greatest passions, and I’m so happy to share them with you here. I’m a military brat, so travel runs deep in my DNA. I’ve never met a stranger and travel as much as possible. I’ve been all over the world in search of food and adventure.

I believe with all of my heart that food and flavor connect us to our past and each other, and there is no more extraordinary gift on earth than connection.
