First posts are always awkward. Since this blog is only intended as a little slice of my delicious life, I’ll skip the background. I’m in Boston! This is something new for me. That’s all you need to know. Don’t expect any diary entries or gossip here- my life is, and probably always will be, focused on food. I’ll tell you about Russian grocery stores and steamed pork buns and farmer’s markets (and eventually I’ll have graduate-level classes about food to write about), because that’s what I find exciting and worth talking about. This will be a scrapbook for my favorite food discoveries, be it at home in my closet of a kitchen, out in the city, or in Boston University’s Gastronomy classrooms. May you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

Cheers!
