The main themes: international food, vegetarian/vegan friendly food (not exclusively), and snacks. Mostly I just want to talk about the things I eat -- Can you see why I had a hard time deciding what to include in a single cookbook?
My experience: 6 years of catering in Draper, UT, cooking at Sage's Cafe in Salt Lake City, international student friends, elongated grocery trips, and a lifetime of eating.
Me: My name is Elizabeth. I just graduated for the University of Utah with bachelors in Linguistics and International Studies, so I'll probably some of that geeky stuff in here. My specialty is teaching English as a second language. School was always my priority for like... the past 20 years and cooking my hobby, so I don't have much else to say. I mean, I like other things and stuff, such as movies, hiking, and my pet birds. Also, I have the best friends and family in the world!
いただきます
itadakimasu!
"I humbly receive"
Japanese people exclaim this when they are about to eat in order to show gratitude to the farmers, the soil, the cook, .. everything and everyone that had a hand in their reception of the meal they are about to enjoy.
