Today, no measurements allowed…

I’ve never been much of the measuring-type of cook – probably explains my irrational fear of dough and baking. Call it laziness, lack of discipline, or maybe extremely accurate-eyeballing superpower, but I rarely invite measuring cups and spoons to the party. However, no one told […]

Facing our “I-love-to-eat-it-but-hate-to-cook-it” foods

Facing our “I-love-to-eat-it-but-hate-to-cook-it” foods

Thank you all for sharing your scary, intimidating, I-love-to-eat-it-but-hate-to-cook foods. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in this department. I avoided making dishes involving rolling out dough because I was simply raised to think, “it’s just too much work.” But what is “too much […]

Conquering my fear of baking…

Conquering my fear of baking…

Conquering my irrational fear of unfulfilled, unhappy, unfluffed (no, it’s not a real word, but just go with it because I can’t think of the real word for it) bread. 😬 I’ve recently been inspired to bake sweet bread. Sweetbread (more commonly known as Hawaiian […]

Pivot! Traveling in the times of Covid-19

My first post since all of our worlds got turned upsidedown because of Covid19. To be honest, the timing for a world-wide lockdown was incredibly uncanny as I decided to shift the perspective of my blog from comfort food to food exploration and curiosity, inspired […]

How to Cozy: While You Travel

No longer a starving college student surviving off of fried rice, Spam, and eggs – I am fortunate enough to satisfy an appetite that doesn’t correlate to my stature and please my curious palette all over the world. Every year I make it a point […]

Cozy Essentials Part 3: Tunes for Dining

Cozy Essentials Part 3: Tunes for Dining

All to often I find myself sipping on an espresso in a thoughtfully designed café. The atmosphere is well-rounded and all of what seems to be empty space, is filled with the sound of a jazz musician improvising a smooth saxophone solo. And then all of a […]

Cozy Essentials Part 2: Lighting

Cozy Essentials Part 2: Lighting

Light – it’s a magical element in so many ways. Before electricity (the discovery of fire even), we had no control of light. We were only able to see when the sun was shining and in the mysterious light of a full moon. But in […]

Cozy Essentials Part 1: Setting the Table

Cozy Essentials Part 1: Setting the Table

In a never ending conquest to be economical and efficient, my parents would do things like tear paper towels in half to be used and save extra plastic utensils from take-out meals. They even decided, that for a period of time we would eat off of […]

The Cozy Factors

The Cozy Factors

So, why the decision to dive into cozy and nostalgic experiences with food? Since I was a child, I absolutely loved to cook. But for the longest time, I never truly asked myself why. I’ve discovered that cooking has always been my way of making someone happy and […]
