About Melanie

I'm British born yet have travelled the world in various job settings. I've always maintained a love of food and cooking so my travels have given me a very experienced palate! I married and settled in South Louisiana and have fallen in love with the Southern way of cooking. Surrounded by Creole and Cajun influences it's no wonder my food blog has taken the direction it has!
