Bio

Food has always played a huge role in Alice's life, ever since she was a child cooking up a pot of rice for family dinners before her parents returned home from work. In college, while most of her peers were pigging out on pizzas and burgers, she spent two years as a pescatarian and ended up doing a lot of her own cooking and experimenting, for better or worse. Now that she's in the "real world," she likes to splurge on dining out and taking those experiences home to her now-omnivorous kitchen. Her love of food paired with her penchant for putting thoughts to paper took her on a journey from amateur writer to five-year Yelp Elite reviewer to launching this food blog, a joint effort with her boyfriend Martin. In 2014, Alice decided to make food an even bigger part of her life, giving up her office job to become a line cook. She managed the renowned charcuterie program at Waterloo & City in Culver City under the mentorship of Chef Brendan Collins. Upon the restaurant's closure in February 2015, she traded in chicken liver mousse for paella, embarking on her next adventure as line cook at The Bazaar by Jose Andres at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." – J.R.R. Tolkien
