I'm Joy, a Midwest food writer, traveler, and cook who believes food has the power to connect all people and cultures.
I make it my mission to help people create stronger relationships with the food they eat and with each other. Through storytelling, easy-to-learn recipes, recommendations, and how-tos, I teach them that everyone can cook good food and that it's more enjoyable when shared.
I am passionate about sustainability and share my experiences at green restaurants, hotels, and food destinations.
