About Me

Hi,

I'm just a college student who likes food. Not only eating it, but making, photographing, and writing about it.

I value a community where like-minded people can share honest thoughts, de-stress, and learn from others. Check out the first community I created: Restaurant Replicators.

Thanks for checking out my blog,

XO Rachel
