I’m Elisa, and I have been passionate about cooking for over 15 years. I love creating flavorful dishes for my friends and family. As I’ve gotten deeper into cooking, I’ve become more aware of how far we’ve strayed from quality ingredients and reliable food sources. This doesn’t mean we have to limit ourselves to a bland diet of only the food we grow and raise—far from it! However, every small change we make in the kitchen can accumulate over time, leading to better food choices and improved recipes.
